Tips To Make Your Dentures Last

Proper denture care is the key to long-lasting dentures. Here are the most important tips for how to care for dentures:

Daily Cleaning

Plaque and tartar may build up on your dentures, just like they do on natural teeth. To keep dentures in pristine condition, you should clean them every night. Brush them thoroughly under cool water. Use a special denture brush and denture-specific cleaning solution to prevent damage. 

Storing Dentures 

Cleaning dentures is just one part of care. You must also know how to store dentures. Do not leave them out to dry! Dentures need a moist environment to preserve their shape. Store them in cleaning solution or room temperature water overnight, but don’t sleep with them in your mouth. 

Keep Your Mouth Clean 

In addition to cleaning your dentures, you need to keep your mouth clean as well. Use a gentle brush and toothpaste to clean your gums, tongue, and any natural teeth you may have. Practicing good oral hygiene helps prevent infection and ensures your dentures continue to fit properly.
