Complete or Partial Dentures; post insertion instruction for patients.

1. Once you receive your Denture (Complete/Partial) do not immediately start using it for chewing your Food from the first day itself. During the first few days, the denture might trouble you by pricking certain areas on your gums or cheek. You can get rid of the discomfort with some minor trimmings done by your Dentist in Follow up Visits. If you have developed an Ulcer or minor cut, kindly apply some Glycerine or local anesthetic gelly for intraoral use. And inform the dentist about the same so he can trim off the excess edges that hurt you.
2. For at least a Week just try to make the habit of wearing the denture. So that your mouth accepts the denture completely. 
3. For the First week after wearing denture you might experience excessive salivation. Salivation will gradually reduce as you keep using the denture through the week.
4. During the First week remove the denture only while you are having food and while sleeping. You should wear your denture for the rest of the day. Try wearing the denture for as much time as possible. So that the denture is accepted well and early by you.
5. You would face difficulty to speak clearly in the initial week as something new(your new Dentures) are placed in your mouth and you are not used to talking with the denture in your mouth. Don't panic or get stressed. Eventually, after practice, you will be able to speak clearly and fluently. From the Second week of receiving the Denture start practicing to speak with the Denture on. For this Try reading the headlines of the newspaper loudly. You should read the text loudly enough, that if you are sitting in the Hall and your spouse is two rooms away in the kitchen He /She should be able to hear what you are Speaking. You can choose to read your favorite Fantasy novel, religious books, Stotras Mantras out loud as well. Choose the book you like reading.
6. While you Sleep in the afternoon or at Night, do not sleep with the Dentures in Mouth. Remove the Dentures and place it in a small box filled with room temperature water. Do not place it anywhere outside in the open air. The Temperature changes in the atmosphere might affect the make of your Dentures, if kept dry in the open air.
7. After you get adjusted to wearing the Denture, start with chewing of Soft Food like soft Bread, crunchy Biscuits, Idlis, Chapati soaked in Daal or curry, if you are a nonvegetarian you can have soft pieces of well-cooked chicken or soft meat of your choice. Gradually move towards eating semi-solid and solid Foods. Avoid Eating excessively hard food like hard nuts, Hard Ladoos, hard candy, carrots, hard nuts, if you are a nonvegetarian avoid breaking bones.
8. Clean your dentures with just normal handwash soap and denture cleaning brush. Clean your dentures after every meal.  Do not use toothpaste to clean your dentures.
9. If you are using Denture Adhesives with your Dentures, keep the Dentures clean, as the residual adhesive combined with food debris can lead to fungal growth on the denture surface as well as your gums. 
10. Once you start using the Dentures, the Denture might hurt somewhere or the other during the initial one or two weeks. Visit your Dentist to your satisfaction to get the pricking sharp points reduced by your Dentist. Unless and until YOU don't make a Habit of wearing your Denture, The Denture would never get Adjusted. You have to take the initiative of wearing the Denture until you form a Habit of wearing it without getting conscious.
