I had immediate dentures made a week ago. I seem to be having some difficulties getting use to my new dentures. Is this normal?

Learning to chew satisfactorily with new dentures takes 6-8 WEEKS.The tongue, cheek, and lip muscles must be TRAINED to keep the dentures in place during chewing and speaking.The successful use of your dentures depends on you and the effort you put forth to master them. To learn to eat with your new teeth will take PRACTICE, PATIENCE and DETERMINATION.Start with SOFT foods CUTTING everything into small pieces rather than trying to bite with your front teeth as this will dislodge the denture. THICKNESS in your speech and perhaps a LISP are also common symptoms which will usually correct itself in a short period of time. SORE spots may also develop and these can be easily relieved by your denturist. Hundreds of thousands of people wear dentures with ease and in time you too will feel comfortable, secure and successful in wearing your dentures.There is not a removable prosthesis made for the mouth that is permanent. The mouth is constantly changing. On average a partial or a denture may be expected to last about 5 years.
