Caring For Your Dentures
Caring for your dentures is essential to ensure their longevity, comfort, and functionality. Proper cleaning and regular maintenance are vital to preserve the health of your gums and the effectiveness of your dentures. Daily brushing of your dentures with a soft-bristled toothbrush and denture-specific cleaning cream is crucial to avoid damage. Avoid using abrasive toothpaste, which can scratch your dentures. Also, remember to inspect your dentures regularly for signs of wear, including stained or damaged teeth, and to seek professional adjustments when needed. Dentures should never be exposed to hot water as it can warp them. If your dentures become loose, it’s important to visit your dentist promptly to avoid discomfort and potential oral tissue damage. Storing your dentures in water or a cleaning solution when not in use prevents them from drying out and losing their shape. Regular visits to your dental professional, including an annual oral exam and updates to your medical and dental history, will help keep your dentures functioning well and prevent problems such as tissue irritation or bite issues.
