Proper care and maintenance of dentures are essential for ensuring their longevity and your oral health. While your dentist will provide personalized care instructions based on your specific needs, there are some general guidelines that apply to all patients.
Wear your new dentures continuously for the first few weeks to help your mouth adjust. After this period, you can remove them at night for added comfort.
Storage
Always fully submerge your dentures in water and store them in a special container when not in use. This keeps them flexible and prevents drying out.
Daily Cleaning
Clean your dentures daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleaner to remove food particles and plaque.
Regular Dental Visits
Schedule regular check-ups to monitor any remaining natural teeth, examine your gums, and make necessary adjustments to your dentures.
