Modern dentures are typically made from acrylic resins, but can also include metal components.
Acids from foods and drinks or stomach acid can wear away tooth enamel, leading to tooth erosion.
Hold it by the crown, rinse with milk or saline, try to reinsert it, if not possible, keep it moist in milk/saline, and see a dentist ASAP.
Porcelain veneers can effectively smooth out irregular ridges or grooves on teeth, creating a more polished appearance.
To reduce out-of-pocket expenses, encourage regular dental check-ups, and ensure affordability for treatments or emergencies.
