英文小作文：

My Dentures

I have dentures, which are artificial teeth that I wear to replace my missing teeth. They help me smile with confidence and speak clearly. However, they can be a bit uncomfortable at times, especially when they become loose or fall out. The dentist helps me maintain them by cleaning and polishing them regularly, and I must take care to keep them clean and dry to prevent infection. Without my dentures, I would have a hard time eating and speaking, which would be very uncomfortable. I am grateful for the help they provide and the care my dentist provides me every year for my oral health.
