Tips for maintaining dentures

Maintaining your dentures properly can help prolong their lifespan and ensure optimal function:

• Clean your dentures daily using a denture brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too harsh and scratch the surface of the dentures.
• Remove and rinse your dentures after eating to remove any food particles that may be trapped.
• Handle your dentures with care to avoid dropping or damaging them. Hold them over a soft towel or basin of water when not wearing them.
• Soak your dentures overnight in a denture cleaning solution or plain water to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
• Regularly brush your gums, tongue, and palate with a soft-bristled toothbrush to maintain oral hygiene.
• Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and adjustments, if needed.
