While some people adapt to their dentures within a few days, for others the adjustment period may take several weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this process, the mouth and tongue begin to adapt to the presence of the prosthesis. Mild discomfort experienced in the first few days will gradually decrease. Having your prosthesis prepared to fit your mouth structure and adjusted by your dentist when necessary also significantly facilitates the adaptation process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>It is normal to experience the following situations during the initial period of using dentures:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling of fullness or a foreign object in the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Temporary increase in saliva production.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty pronouncing certain words when speaking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty getting used to the prosthesis while chewing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Mild sensitivity or feeling of pressure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking that the prosthesis is moving<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These symptoms usually lessen as your mouth and tongue get used to the prosthesis. However, you should consult your dentist if you experience severe pain, persistent sores, or significant movement of the prosthesis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incidis.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/inci-genis-1-1024x512.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.incidis.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/inci-genis-1-1024x512.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.incidis.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/inci-genis-1-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.incidis.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/inci-genis-1-640x320.webp 640w, https:\/\/www.incidis.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/inci-genis-1-400x200.webp 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nHow to Get Used to Speaking with Dentures?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most frequently asked questions by people using new dentures is about speech. Because the denture changes the range of movement of the tongue inside the mouth, speech may sound different in the first few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>To get used to speaking faster:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can read a book or newspaper aloud during the day.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can practice speaking in front of a mirror.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can repeat difficult-to-pronounce words slowly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can try to maintain your daily conversations as much as possible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With regular practice, your tongue will become accustomed to the shape and position of the prosthesis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Start Eating with Dentures?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing softer foods instead of hard and sticky foods in the first few days can make the adjustment process easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take small bites when eating and try to chew your food on both sides as much as possible. Avoid very hard foods in the early stages, and be careful when consuming very hot food and drinks. Don&#039;t rush when eating with your prosthesis. Over time, your chewing movements will become more natural, and it will be easier to consume different foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it normal for dentures to rub against something?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some areas may experience pressure or mild sensitivity with new dentures. However, it is not considered normal for the denture to constantly cause sores or severe pain in the same area. In such a case, instead of filing or altering the denture yourself, you should consult your dentist. Your dentist can check the denture&#039;s suitability for your mouth structure and make the necessary adjustments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is the Care of Dentures Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the adjustment period with dentures, cleaning them is also very important for oral health. Food particles and plaque that accumulate on dentures can cause bad breath, gum problems, and irritation in the mouth. Regular cleaning of dentures and oral and gum care as recommended by the dentist are necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>When should you see a dentist?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may experience mild discomfort during the initial period of using a prosthesis.

Remember, your dentures are designed to make your daily life easier and support your oral functions.
