Hi Anbuma,

It is very natural for our gums to recede as we get older. You mention that you have had dentures for a long time, so it's more than likely that the time has come for you to have them replaced in order for them to fit properly.

The best thing to do would be to visit your Dentist and see what he/she thinks.

Good luck.

have had dentures for a long time but these were new last year and the dentist said then as my gums were so worn (due to fibro)she couldn't make them any deeper as would be too heavy but then having dentures is causing gums to wear down more.cant win?what do I do .gettign new dentures will still be a gap between denture and gumline.implants?would dentist fit implants cos of cost and I only pay a certain amount to wards dental treatment

Hi anbuma. I hope that you are feeling well today. It reallg does sound like you need new dentures. Our gums shrink as we get older. As a result we get ill fitting dentures.

Take care
