How do you care for dentures?
The best way to care for your denture is to keep it clean. Here are a few pointers to help you get the most out of your dentures:
1. After eating and drinking, remove your dentures and rinse them with warm water to prevent the accumulation of food residue and particles.
2. Dentures are delicate and potentially breakable. Handle them with caution and take your time when cleaning. Always remove and clean dentures over a sink of water or a folded towel.
3. Some chemicals are too harsh for dentures. Do not use toothpaste or teeth whitening products on your dentures. Scratches can be caused by abrasive toothpaste, and whitening products might alter the colour of your dentures.
Don’t sleep with your dentures on.
4. Dentures should be soaked in warm or cool water overnight. Hot water might cause your dentures to change shape.
