To make sure your dentures last, you should avoid a number of abrasive cleaning materials, including:
In addition, avoid hot or boiling water, which can warp dentures. If your dentures have metal attachments, don’t soak them in solutions that contain chlorine, as chlorine can corrode and/or tarnish metal.
To make sure your dentures last and serve you well for a long time, you need to take care of them at home. Home denture care involves:
At least twice a day, brush your dentures with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleanser. This ensures that you get rid of both, food particles and deposits, like plaque.
If you secure your dentures with denture adhesive, clean the denture grooves that push up against your gums to remove any leftover adhesive.
Make sure that you remove your dentures or partials from your mouth before cleaning them. When cleaning them, be careful not to bend the clasps, as this could affect fit and make them vulnerable to breakage.
To ensure that your dentures keep their shape, you need to keep them moist. When you take them out ,soak them in water or a dentist-approved denture soaking solution. Before you put them back , rinse them thoroughly, especially if you use a denture soaking solution.
Dogs love dentures, too, so keep dentures in a sealed container and away from your best friend when not in your mouth. If your dog gets a hold of your dentures, they may chew on them and break them, or break off teeth. The team at Christian Dentures can sometimes repair broken dentures dogs have chewed, but not in all cases. In addition, to take care of your dentures, you need to schedule regular visits with your denturist and occasionally get them relined.
Avoid wrapping them in paper towels or napkins because when you do this the chances of throwing them away is greatly increased. We constantly hear stories about lost dentures because they were put in a napkin or paper towel and then disposed off in the garbage.
The best way of keeping your dentures safe when not in your mouth is to put them in a solution, inside of a sealed container or denture cup.
