What about a food-related issue of another sort \u2013\nfoods and beverages are tasting strange, and it\u2019s actually related to your\ndentures! Keep reading to learn from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edfamilydental.com\/dentures.html\">your denture dentist in Astoria<\/a> about how your\nsense of taste can be impacted by your dental restoration.&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>&lt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do Dentures Affect Taste?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, there are three reasons why they could be a hindrance to your ability to taste normally: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Full upper dentures can cover taste buds. <\/strong>They often have base plates to keep them securely in place. Unfortunately, these plates sometimes cover the taste buds on the roof of your mouth. Doing so reduces the flavor intensity of foods and drinks. In some cases, this effect is temporary. While full upper dentures may initially cause loss of taste, your brain can eventually adjust so taste returns to normal.<\/li><li><strong>Dentures accumulate deposits of food and stains.<\/strong> Over time, they naturally build up food deposits and stains. It could keep you from adequately tasting what you eat. Cheap ones use low-quality plastic that picks up more odors and flavors, leading them to affect how your future meals and snacks will taste.<\/li><li><strong>Sometimes dentures don\u2019t fit well.<\/strong> Poorly fitting ones usually require a lot of adhesive to stay in place. It can potentially alter taste. Denture creams and adhesives are often described as having a lingering \u201cmetallic taste\u201d which can overwhelm the flavor of what you eat.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips\nfor Improving Your Sense of Taste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the\naforementioned issues have solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Consider dental implants. <\/strong>Because implant-retained ones don\u2019t need a base plate, they shouldn\u2019t interfere with your taste receptors.<\/li><li><strong>Clean your dentures properly: <\/strong>With regular brushing and soaking, yours won\u2019t develop stains and food deposits that can alter your sense of taste.<\/li><li><strong>Get better-fitting dentures: <\/strong>When they fit securely, it reduces your reliance on the metal-tasting adhesive. If the fit is a persistent issue, you might need a denture reline.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your sense of taste\ncan change with age but an alteration of what you\u2019re used to could relate to\nyour dentures. By staying mindful of the tips above, you can keep smiling while\nalso enjoying the taste of your favorite foods and beverages! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-shkurti.html\">Dr. Eduart Shkurti<\/a> earned his dental doctorate from the University of Southern California.
