How to Care for Dentures
Caring for dentures is crucial for their longevity and your oral health. Here are key steps to follow for denture care from Paradise Dental Studio:
- Daily Cleaning: Just like natural teeth, dentures should be cleaned daily. Use a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. Avoid regular toothpaste as it can be too harsh for the denture material. Gently brush all surfaces, including the area that comes in contact with your gums.
- Rinse After Eating: Remove and rinse your dentures after meals to remove food particles and other debris. Handle them carefully to avoid bending or damaging the plastic or clasps.
- Handle with Care: Dentures are delicate and can break if dropped. When handling them, do so over a folded towel or a basin of water to reduce the risk of damage if dropped.
- Soak Overnight: Most dentures need to remain moist to keep their shape. Place them in a denture-soaking solution or in water overnight. Check with Paradise Dental Studio for the best soaking practices for your specific dentures.
- Avoid Hot Water: Never use hot water to rinse or soak dentures as it can warp them.
- Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit Paradise Dental Studio regularly for check-ups. Your dentist can ensure a proper fit to prevent discomfort and check the dentures for any repairs or adjustments.
- Avoid Certain Cleaners: Steer clear of bleach-containing products as they can weaken dentures and change their color. Also, avoid abrasive cleaning materials like stiff brushes and harsh toothpaste.
- Take Care of Your Gums: When you remove your dentures, give your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth a good brush with a soft-bristled brush to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque.
Following these guidelines will help maintain your dentures and oral health. If you have any specific concerns or questions about your dentures, the team at Paradise Dental Studio is always available to assist you.
