Denture Tips and Proper Denture Care

Dentures are false teeth but you should care for them like they are real teeth. Dentures should be brushed to remove plaque and food particles before being removing from your mouth. After removing dentures from your mouth, you should place them directly into room temperature water or a denture cleaning solution. Never use hot water because it could warp the dentures. Dentures are made of delicate materials, so make sure they are handled carefully and that you don't drop them. Also, never try to adjust your dentures yourself or you could risk damaging the dentures. Always seek assistance from your dentist if they feel uncomfortable or loose. R+R Dental reminds you to follow these important denture care tips for optimal denture cleanliness and durability:

• Take proper care of your dentures like real teeth
• Dentures are very delicate and must be handled with care
• Rinse with room temperature water only, hot water can warp dentures
• Dentures require brushing like real teeth to remove plaque and food particles
• Don't let your dentures dry out. Dentures should be placed in a denture cleanser soaking solution or plain water when not being used
• Brush your gums, tongue, and palate with a soft tooth brush to remove plaque, before wearing dentures
• Dentures should be adjusted and fixed by dentist professionals only, otherwise can suffer damage
