Why Is Denture Care Important?

Dentures are a significant investment in your oral health and quality of life. Dentures restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile naturally, whether total or partial. However, like natural teeth, they require consistent care to prevent stains, foul odors, and gum irritation. Regular maintenance ensures they fit correctly and last longer while safeguarding oral health.

Tips for At-Home Denture Care

  • Daily Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle toothbrush or a special denture brush with a non-abrasive cleanser to clean your dentures daily. Avoid regular toothpaste, as it can scratch the surface.
  • Rinse After Meals: Rinse your dentures with water after eating to remove food particles and prevent buildup.
  • Proper Storage: When not in use, keep your dentures in water or a denture solution to maintain their shape and prevent drying out.
  • Protect Your Dentures: Handle them carefully to avoid dropping or damaging them.
  • Watch for Changes: If you notice discomfort, changes in fit, or damage, contact us promptly to schedule an evaluation.
