Cleaning Dentures
To keep your dentures clean and free from plaque and food, you should clean them daily. Rinse your dentures thoroughly with cool water before cleaning them with a dental cleaning solution. You can also soak your dentures in a denture cleaner solution. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too rough and damage the denture material. For removable partial dentures, make sure to clean the metal clasps and parts as well.
Removing Plaque and Tartar
Just like natural teeth, dentures can accumulate dental plaque, which can lead to gum disease. Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush. You can also soak your dentures in a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar.
Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene
In addition to cleaning your dentures, it's vital to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your gums and any remaining teeth. Poor oral hygiene can lead to discomfort and pain. Brush your gums gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush, and floss at least once a day.
Handling Stains and Discoloration
Dentures can stain over time due to various factors such as smoking. To prevent stains and discoloration, clean your dentures regularly and avoid consuming foods and drinks that can cause discoloration. You can also try removing stains by soaking them in a solution of equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide. However, consult your dentist before attempting any whitening methods.
Storage of Dentures
When not in use, dentures should be kept in a safe place to prevent bacterial growth. Store your dentures in a denture case, and let your dentures dry completely to prevent bacterial growth.
Visiting Your Dentist
Regular check-ups with your dentist are vital to ensure your dentures fit properly, don't cause any discomfort, and don't lead to any health issues. Your dentist can adjust your dentures.
Proper care and maintenance of dentures require good oral hygiene with your dentist. By following these tips, you can ensure your dentures last long and don't cause any health issues. Remember, taking good care of your dentures is essential for a healthy and happy smile.
