"Yikes! What just happened to my speech?" The shock of trying to speak right after your new dentures sure is a wake-up call! Your voice physiology changes after dentures.

This can be a hard blow to your confidence, just when you thought everything was fixed.

This book walks you through each major speech muscle (lips, tongue, teeth, palate, and jaw) with easy exercises to refresh your speech.
It's a bit like learning to talk again-but you are the teacher retraining your own speech articulators to adjust to your new dentures-and you will discover that you can have fun doing them too!

"Speak With Confidence: Even With Dentures is a valuable book, long overdue. It jumps right into the practical needs of a denture wearer, clearly divided into chapters with each chapter covering what, why, how to and action. This useful and practical guide then closes with a Weekly Tracking Calendar and Summary Chart of Consonants. As a retired dental professional, I consider this to be a must read' for denture wearers to dispel all concerns and insecurities around speaking clearly and confidently."
-D. Smith, Dental Hygienist (retired)
