Denture Care
Advice and tips on caring for your dentures
- Only your dental professional is qualified to diagnose your oral health and adjust your denture or partial
- Dentures should be brushed inside and outside daily with a soft, large nylon denture tooth brush with round-ended bristles
- Use denture creams instead of toothpaste, which are too abrasive and will scratch your denture. Rinse with cold water
- Dentures warp if placed in hot water
- Inspect your denture regularly for worn teeth
- Worn and stained dentures can make you look older and cause your dentures to function poorly.
- Discuss all your current medications with your doctor and dental professional
- Be sure to visit your dental professional regularly.
- If you experience loose dentures, check immediately as they can cause friction and pressure on the gum tissues and bones
- When not in use, cover dentures with water or a denture-cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out
- Most dental insurance policies provide coverage for new dentures every 5 years
