As fall sets in and the holiday season begins, denture wearers may notice a few seasonal changes. Dry air and allergies can cause sore gums or affect denture fit, while colder weather and sinus pressure might add to the discomfort. Traditional fall and holiday foods—like apples, nuts, or sticky sweets—can be tricky to enjoy with dentures. Try softer options and stay hydrated to keep your mouth comfortable. With cold and flu season here, daily denture cleaning is more important than ever. Don’t forget to give your gums a rest at night and schedule a checkup to stay smiling all season!
