MAny patients do different teeth. What can you loose if you try?
Often gum will stick to dentures.
Absolutely! You can use mouthwash with dentures. Just remember to take your dentures out and give them a separate cleaning. Using mouthwash for your natural tissues can help keep your mouth fresh. If you want to freshen up the dentures, you can soak them in a denture-cleaning solution. Just always be sure not to use anything too abrasive on the dentures themselves.
Chewing, in general, with dentures is often very challenging. Chewing gum may be possible for you, but it is definitely not like chewing gum with natural teeth. If your dentures are supported by dental implants, that would help, but just with just conventional dentures, I would not recommend it and I would think that you would not enjoy it.
Yes you can. If the dentures move around too much, you can try Polygrip ( denture glue)
Because gum can be sticky and generate a pulling force between teeth, it's not recommended to chew gum with complete dentures. Doing so can cause your dentures to loosen and fall away from your gums.
