Patient: Thank you! I am 66 years old and retired. Although I have medicare, it doesn't cover dental. I live on a very limited income, (below poverty level) and I need some major dental work done. Can you guide me inthe right direction? I have a partial plate on top that's old and needs replacing and my bottom teeth are very loose. I'm thinking Imneed dentures. Doctor: Hello and welcome to hcm,  If your dentures are ill-fitting,please get it replaced as soon as possible.  The ill-fitting dentures can interfere with your speech,occlusion,chewing food etc.  Removable dentures are not costly,please go for it.  Always keep your denture clean .  Fungus can grow,if denture is not cleaned properly.  Always maintain good oral hygiene too.  Chew the food equally with both the sides. hope this helps.
