Caring for full or partial dentures is vital to ensuring their longevity and effectiveness and your comfort. Here’s a quick guide to proper care:
- Handle your dentures with care to avoid dropping and damaging them.
- Clean your dentures every day using a soft-bristled toothbrush, nonabrasive denture cleanser, or mild soap. Toothpaste can be too abrasive and cause scratches.
- Rinse your dentures after eating to remove food particles and prevent stains.
- When not using your dentures, store them in water or a denture-cleansing solution to keep them from drying out or warping.
- Brush your gums, tongue, and palate with a soft-bristled brush every morning before putting in your dentures.
- Attend regular dental checkups with your dentist. These visits allow your dentist to assess your dentures’ fit and quickly identify and address any damage.
These steps will help keep your full or partial dentures in tip-top condition and ensure your long-term comfort, confidence, and oral health.
