Living with Dentures
When you have dentures, oral care is still very important. Routine exams are recommended to maintain overall oral health. Here are some at-home tips:
- Brush your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth before you put in your dentures and before bed.
- Eat a balanced diet.
- If you have remaining teeth, you’ll still need to follow your recommended hygiene schedule to help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- If you have no remaining teeth, your dentist will need to routinely examine your gums and check the fit of your dentures.
How to Clean Dentures
As with natural teeth, taking daily care of your dentures is important. Denture care is key. Here are some guidelines for how to care for and how to clean your dentures.
- Clean your dentures after every meal to remove food deposits and plaque. Take your denture out, rinse it off, and apply denture cleaner to your wet denture brush. Brush your denture gently and rinse it well.
- Brush your gums, tongue, and palate morning and night.
- Use a denture brush and denture cleaner. You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Do not use toothpaste or a hard-bristled toothbrush, as they can damage your denture.
- Brush your dentures over a basin full of water or a folded towel so they won’t break if you drop them.
- Store your dentures in a denture cleansing soaking solution or water when you’re not wearing them as dentures can lose shape if they dry out.
- Keep your dentures in a safe place when you’re not wearing them
