If they do, you might wonder whether that constitutes a dental emergency\u2014an issue warranting immediate professional attention. Here\u2019s what you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Broken Dentures a Dental Emergency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the important role that dentures play in the lives of people who need them, their being broken absolutely constitutes a dental emergency. It\u2019s worth calling your dentist as soon as you notice that your prosthetic is no longer functional, and they\u2019ll typically make an appointment for you to see them as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should I Do Until My Appointment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, it\u2019s a good idea not to wear your dentures if they\u2019re damaged. Using them to eat could put excess pressure on the prosthetic, causing further damage that could be difficult to repair. For that reason, you should store your dentures in a safe place until you can see your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a set of backup dentures, you can try wearing them until you can see your dentist. If not, you might have to be a little bit choosy about what you eat before your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Repair My Dentures Myself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s never a good idea to try to repair your dentures yourself. For one, it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll be able to fix your dentures well enough for them to stand up to very much pressure. Even if you get your dentures to stick together, it\u2019s unlikely that the repairs will last long. It can also be difficult to fit your dentures to your mouth properly, particularly without a dental mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, the adhesives and materials that dentists use are specifically formulated for a dental context, which means that they\u2019re non-toxic. This is often not the case for the tools the average person has on hand, so you might wind up exposing yourself to toxic materials if you try to make repairs yourself. In the case of denture repair, you should leave this part of your dental care to the professionals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At The DFW Dental Implant Center, we\u2019re not only proud of what we\u2019re able to offer to our patients in terms of treatment, but in the relationships that we\u2019ve been able to form with them over the years.
