You might be excited to enjoy a romantic evening with a special someone, maybe even hoping to end the night with a kiss. The plan you have laid out sounds fun, but you may be worried about locking lips if you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atriumfamilydental.com\/dentures.html\">dentures<\/a>. This act can be an enjoyable part of a relationship, and your dental prosthetic doesn\u2019t have to get in the way! Here are three tips to ensure you avoid any embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1: Keep Your Dentures Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having bad breath or poor oral hygiene can turn people away from a kiss. That\u2019s true for both natural teeth and dentures, so you should make sure you are properly cleaning your restoration. Brush them twice every day and soak them overnight to remove harmful bacteria that can cause problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, but be sure to wipe down your gums and other soft tissues, as they can get buildup as well. Making these into simple habits can help you keep your breath fresh and smile in great shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2: Be Gentle and Soft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the time finally comes to kiss your special someone, you should be sure you keep it soft and gentle. Pucker your lips, but don&#8217;t apply too much pressure or suction. Doing so can bump your teeth against theirs or cause your prosthetic to shift and even dislodge. Instead, enjoy the moment and take it slow and sweet, so you can enjoy the act without anything slipping out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Consider Swapping to Implant Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are ways you can make kissing with traditional dentures a more comfortable experience, but you may be able to feel more confident about it by switching to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atriumfamilydental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>. These are posts that are placed into your jawbone, using it as a stable foundation. Your restoration will attach to them, meaning you won\u2019t need to worry about shifting at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then enjoy this intimate moment with your beloved with fervor. To learn more about this other tooth replacement, you can talk to your dentist about your candidacy and the many other benefits it can bring you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, don\u2019t let your dentures stop you from getting close and kissing the special someone in your life. Keep the tips above in mind to help you make delightful memories this Valentine\u2019s Day and beyond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atriumfamilydental.com\/about-us.html\">Atrium Family Dental of New Lenox<\/a>, you benefit from a compassionate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atriumfamilydental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">team of dentists<\/a> who look after you and your oral health.
