Will my sense of taste be affected?

This is quite a common worry. Your taste buds are mainly on your tongue and they will still be there so eventually everything will not taste too different. However, at first food may not taste the same, as your dentures will interfere with your taste buds while your mouth adjusts to the feel of the denture. Your ability to sense hot food and drink may also be affected, so for a while it is a good idea to avoid very hot food and drinks. Remember not to drink very hot liquids with your dentures out as you may burn yourself.
