To keep your dentures in tip-top shape, you need to take good care of them by:
- Handling them carefully, so they don’t fall and break
- Removing your Dentures daily for at least 6 hours in a proper Denture box.
- Always soaking them when not in your mouth so they don’t dry out
- Only using dentist-approved cleaning materials
- Avoiding abrasive bristle toothbrushes
- Avoiding wrapping them in napkins or paper towels (you will throw them away if you do so!)
- Make sure your dog do not reach your Dentures
- On most partials the front teeth are only for looks, do not use them for biting.
Even with your best efforts, due to natural wear and tear and age-related changes to your jaw, mouth, and face. You’ll likely have to reline or replace your Dentures at least every three to five years.
