Dentures Too Big for My Mouth and Glitter in My Mouth

Q: Why do my dentures feel too big for my mouth? A: Dentures may feel oversized if they weren't properly fitted to your gums or if there has been a change in your jawbone due to natural resorption. Ill-fitting dentures can cause discomfort, difficulty speaking, or eating. Q: What should I do if my dentures are too big? A: Consult your dentist immediately. They may adjust, reline, or remake the dentures to improve fit and comfort. Temporary adhesives can help in the meantime. Q: Why is there glitter-like material in my mouth? A: Glitter-like material might come from denture cleaning products containing fine particles or residue from cleaning agents. Improper rinsing after cleaning could leave this behind. Q: How can I avoid glitter residue from denture products? A: Always thoroughly rinse your dentures with clean water after using cleaning solutions or tablets to ensure no residue remains.
