Is it okay to use a broken denture?
Q: I am 33 years old. I wear dentures for 456/456 teeth. The denture broke while having food. Is it healthy to continue wearing a broken denture? What can be the consequences if I ever swallow it by mistake?
A:Yes, it is definitely dangerous to keep a broken denture in the mouth. Please get them repaired or made new. If you ingest the same, it can have serious complications in the stomach and intestine.
