Steps On How to Maintain Your Dentures
•
After removing your dentures, place them on a towel and or in a water-filled bowl so that they don't break if they accidentally slip from your hands.
•
Apply soap on the dentures and clean them with a soft-bristled toothbrush that’s especially made for this purpose. Don’t use toothpaste or your regular toothbrush. The latter brush’s bristles can scratch the protective layer on the denture and make them vulnerable to staining.
•
If you are not wearing the dentures after cleaning them, place them in a glass filled with a denture-cleansing solution or cold water. When dentures dry out, they lose their shape so make sure they are never left out in the open.
•
Before putting in the dentures, rinse them with water to remove the cleaning solution.
Wearing dentures doesn't mean that you don't clean your gums. Use a toothbrush with extremely soft bristles and clean your gum and tongue. Bacteria from them can transfer to the dentures and soften them.
