Answers:
this is unlikely!. the gum in your mouth is only a thin layer of tissue which covers the bone of the jaw and palate!. what is normal is for the bone in your mouth to be resorbed throughout life resulting in your dentures becoming slack and the need for new ones!. dentures noramlly need to be replaced about every three years!.
well done on losing weight though!. i ahve to lose weight for a wedding next year as im being a bridesmaid!. dieting is a nightmare =)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Weight loss may effect the way your dentures fit!. Until you find a happy/medium weight you can use denture adhesive!. Once you stop losing you can get your dentures relined!. This is where your dentist takes an impression, sends your dentures to the lab and they add more acrylic to them so they fit you!. It might be overnight, depending on your dentist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
