What causes eating and breathing trouble due to dentures?
Patient: had to have all upper teeth removed.  Had temporary denture made and am waiting for healing to get 3 more implants to snap into new denture without the palate part.   I already have one implant but unfortunately while waiting for everything to heal is now falling out.When I put the temporary dentures in - I feel like  my breathing is blocked and I have extreme nasal drip down the back of my throat.  Why is this happening?  I have had the dentures since last November - they still are horrible and I cannot eat.   What is causing all this?   Is there a problem with my sinus? Doctor: Hello I think your temporary dentures are over extended just get them rechecked with your dentist this a common problem faced by patients when the denture extension is beyond specially at the palatal region extension. So don’t worry get them corrected u will feel better…regards Dr Rakesh Mishra
