Dentures are false teeth that replace teeth you have lost.
- Complete dentures cover your whole upper or lower jaw.
- Partials replace one or a few teeth.
Getting used to them
- They feel strange at first: speaking and eating may feel different.
- Take care: dentures can make it harder to feel hot foods and drinks, or to notice biting on a bone in your food.
- Fit checks: at first your dentist may want to see you often to check the fit.
Over time
Your mouth changes, so dentures may need adjusting or replacing — let your dentist do it. If they move too much, a denture adhesive may help. Sometimes a dentist will suggest dental implants, which are permanent and replace both the roots and the teeth.
Keeping them clean
- Keep dentures free of food, which can cause stains, bad breath or swollen gums.
- Brush them every day with a denture-care product.
- Take them out at night and keep them in water or a denture-cleansing liquid.

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia gets worse slowly and causes no symptoms at the start, so the first line of treatment is watchful waiting — regular checks, no drugs. The aim is not cure but long remissions, and knowing that changes how the diagnosis reads.
