Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Dentures & Bridges : Getting Used to Talking Again With Partial Dentures

So, are you wondering on how you can get used to talking again, with partial dentures? Well,

my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I'm going to talk to you

today, about different ways, on how you can get used to talking again, with partial dentures,

especially if you've never had them before, and you've just recently had several teeth

extracted, and you have a partial denture. It's going to take some time, and usually,

a lot of times what we recommend to patients, is if they wear their partial dentures as

much as possible, this will help function with them, a lot better. It usually takes

about a good two to three days, for you to actually start talking correctly again. A

lot of times what the patients will start doing, is they actually talk with a lisp,

so it usually takes about a good two to three days. The more that you talk, say if you can

actually take a book and read a book out loud, the more that you can talk, actually your

body will start to become accustomed to the partial dentures, and it will actually just

basically train itself. Your tongue and your lips will just form around them, and your

body will become accustomed, and just train itself, back to talking without the lisp,

so function with them as much as possible. A lot of times, you'll start getting sore

spots, and a lot of times what people do, is they'll take them out, and then not wear

them. That's just defeating the purpose, so if you can wear them as much as possible,

and just go see your general dentist, so therefore, he can adjust out the sore spots. These are

all great options, on how you can get used to talking again, with partial dentures, but

once again, my name is Michelle. I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I just gave

you a couple of little tips, on how you can get used to talking, with partial dentures.
