Can I choke on my dentures while I sleep?

There is a small but significant risk of choking or even inhaling your appliance if it becomes loose during the night. This is a particular concern with smaller partial dentures or older full dentures that no longer have a precision-fitted seal. For back-sleepers, a loose denture can slip toward the airway, creating a potential choking hazard or leading to aspiration. To ensure your safety and provide peace of mind, our qualified Dental Prosthetists recommend removing your dentures before you go to bed every night.
