How do I care for my dentures?

Here are some tips for caring for dentures:

1. Clean your dentures daily: Use a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasived enture cleaner to clean your dentures daily. Regular brushing will help remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria that can cause bad breath and other oral problems.

2. Rinse dentures after every meal: This helps to remove any loose food particles. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive and damage the denture material.

3. Handle with care: When cleaning your dentures, handle them with care to avoid damaging them. Avoid dropping your dentures, as they can break or crack.

4. Soak overnight: Soak your dentures in a denture cleaner overnight to ensure they are fully cleaned and disinfected.

5. Check for damage: Regularly inspect your dentures for any signs of damage, such as cracks or chips. If you notice any damage, contact your dentist for repair or replacement.

6. Brush your gums and palate: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean your gums and palate to remove bacteria and stimulate circulation.

7. Attend regular dental check-ups: Visit your dentist regularly to ensure your dentures are fitting correctly and to check the health of your gums and mouth.
