Of course, with every new set of teeth crafted and placed, an individual can expect to go through an adjustment phase. What will you sound like when trying to speak? How can you hurry the process and start sounding \u201cnormal\u201d again? Keep reading to discover a few tips to help you on your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can You Expect When Talking with Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s common for patients to need time to adjust to their new dentures. Although they look like regular teeth, they are still a foreign object that your lips, tongue, cheeks, and gums must get used to. The material and fit are likely to feel a little different, so forming sounds and words with your tongue and lips may be tricky at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not be surprised if you struggle to make \u201cs\u201d or \u201cf\u201d sounds, notice clicking noises when starting to speak, or feel your teeth shift. With practice, these issues will slowly dissipate, along with any lisp, excess drooling, or slurred speech you might develop initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Tips Can Help Make Talking with Dentures Easier?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This may not sound like something you can look forward to, but rest assured, it is only temporary. These speech-related challenges will go away the more you practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To speed up the adjustment phase, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Read aloud at home to yourself or family members. This will help you hear the words as you say them and make it easier to identify which sounds you need to practice more thoroughly. It also helps you determine how quickly you can speak before noticing a slur or lisp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bite and swallow before starting to speak so that your teeth will not shift. If necessary, you can also purchase a denture adhesive to help hold them in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start by speaking slowly in front of a mirror. This will help you to see how your mouth moves when forming certain sounds or words. As you become more comfortable, pick up your speed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talk to your dentist about getting an adjustment if you believe your dentures are not fitting correctly and preventing clear speech.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking with dentures doesn\u2019t have to be scary. When you know what to expect and how to prepare for the adjustment phase, you will soon sound like your normal self but more confident than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<br><\/strong>Renaissance Dental is here to make sure you smile confidently for a lifetime.
