Denture Care

Denture wearers need to avoid plaque buildup that can irritate the tissues under the dentures. Thoroughly clean dentures daily and remove dentures at night to avoid bacteria growth. If you wear dentures, you need to continue to see a dental professional regularly. Because mouths continually change, dentures need to be checked for proper fit to avoid irritation, increased bone loss and infections. A change in the fit of partial dentures could indicate periodontal disease.

Follow the instructions for better oral hygiene and care of your denture:

1. Do not wear your dentures for more than 18 hours a day
2. Place dentures in a plain glass of water, and do not put anything else in the water. Preferably use a container that has a lid or a cap, so that insects can not come in contact with the water.
3. Clean dentures with a toothpaste, liquid soap, or shampoo (whatever is available).
4. Never drop your dentures on the floor or inside a ceramic washbasin, it might get fractured.
5. Use a soft Brush to mechanically clean the mucosal fitting surface of the dentures and visibly try to see the areas under the denture for any abnormality.
6. Dentures no doubt are used for grinding of food, but it is highly recommended that hard foods should be avoided.
