Researchers seem to agree that the general health of an individual can be directly related to the healthy or unhealthy condition of a person’s mouth. It is believed that bacteria in the mouth can be spread into the blood stream with the result that diseases can flow into the heart, the lungs, arteries and other parts of the body.
Some people who wear dentures (false teeth) have had to suffer with chronic gum infections and sores inflicted on them by loose or ill-fitting dentures. These sore spots should not be ignored say the specialists because they can progress to the point where they can cause more serious inflammations. These kinds of infections could also lead to such things as a general swelling throughout various parts of the body.
In addition, the plaque lining the arteries can become inflamed, blood clots can be formed and these can eventually be the cause of a stroke or even a heart attack.
My wife and I both wear upper dentures and as a result, we’ve both had sores in our mouths where the dentures rub on our gums in a most uncomfortable way. Like other denture wearers, we are reluctant to go to the dentist to have the dentures re-lined because it costs so much to have it done. My wife’s solution was to simply wear the denture only when eating or going out to church or other public places. She said: “Terry! There has to be a better way!”
My solution was to say to her: “Yes dear”.
Then I put my God given creativity, ingenuity and inventive talents to work to try to think up – invent - a better way to solve this potentially expensive and perhaps life-threatening “sore mouth” problem once and for all.
After much study, research, trial and error and experimentation I created what I now call my Weber Denture Liner kit. (Patent Pending)
This do-it-yourself denture liner kit has an always soft, finger moldable compound or liner that self-adheres to the inside of the acrylic denture. The liner compound, which requires no mixing, is long lasting and easily replaceable –at home – without ever going to a dentist’s office.
