If you rely on dentures, you know that they help you eat meals. Their artificial teeth<\/a> are strong enough to let you bite many softer foods. Still, they don’t do a perfect job – dentures can harm your nutrition and (as a result) your physical health. If you\u2019d like to learn the reason, it isn\u2019t a hard thing to grasp. Just keep reading to learn the connection between dentures and nutrition, as well as what to do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Context: Dentures Affect Chewing Force<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before moving ahead, it helps to review how dentures affect your \u201cchewing force\u201d or bite. Knowing this factor makes it easy to see how replacement teeth could harm nutrition levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can\u2019t chew with regular dentures as you would with natural teeth. The restorations are removable and don\u2019t affix themselves to anything in your mouth. That means they won\u2019t let your bite exert as much strength as it could with a full and natural smile. As a result, you can only chew food with a fraction of your earlier chewing force. Your dentures don\u2019t have any ability to grind or tear your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dentures, Chewing Force, & Nutrition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the context now covered, it\u2019s clearer why dentures can harm your nutrition. These devices don\u2019t let you chew food into small and manageable bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, chewing is the first step in a person\u2019s digestive process. It breaks down food into small particles that the body can easily absorb. However, dentures can\u2019t chew with as much force as natural teeth. They can only break food into larger particles that are hard for the stomach to process. Worse yet, they prompt you to swallow earlier \u2013 an act that limits the breakdown effect from saliva. These effects can interfere with your body\u2019s ability to absorb nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding Dental Implants Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite the facts above, your dentures don\u2019t have to get in the way of the digestion process. Just attach them to dental implants to fix the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An \u201cimplant denture\u201d doesn\u2019t have the same chewing issue as a regular one. It\u2019s connected to dental implants fused to your jaw, meaning it almost fully restores your bite\u2019s strength. You\u2019ll then find it much easier to chew food into small and digestible pieces. From there, you can absorb all the nutrients from your meals to stay healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentures can harm your nutrition, but they don\u2019t have to have this effect. Talk to your dentist about switching to implant-based kinds in the days ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
