How to Care for Your Dentures
Routine cleaning and dental check-ups are key for maintaining healthy dentures. Even with perfect prosthetics, regular dentist visits ensure proper fit and overall oral health, including gums, tongue, and jaw.
At-home care for your dentures:
- Remove dentures overnight to give your mouth a rest
- Soak in warm water with or without denture cleanser (avoid hot water)
- Keep dentures in water when not worn to prevent warping
- Clean and massage your gums when dentures are removed
- For partial dentures, continue brushing your natural teeth as usual
Taking proper care of your dentures helps ensure their longevity and maintain your overall oral health.
