Reline dentures?02/22/2000 |
How often should dentures be relined? Should this be done by a dentist or are the walmart brand alignment kits alright? Is it covered by bluecross blue shield dental plan? I`ve had my dentures for several years, they are loose now and I catch myself moving my upper plate against my regular bottom teeth.
Dentures should be relined whenever their fitting and retention are compromised. This should only be done by a dentist. Several insuring agencies will cover such cost; Medicaid will pay for a new denture every 8 years. Check with your Insurance Company regarding their guidelines. An ill fitting denture can cause certain conditions which can be irritating to the denture wearer.
