If you’re having trouble speaking or chewing and want to restore the function and appearance of your smile, dentures are a great option. They are created to match your mouth and facial structure in order to give you the best possible fit. Call our dental office today in Canton, MI to schedule your denture consultation appointment.
To help your dentures last, follow these tips:
Clean your dentures daily, just like you would your natural teeth. Bacteria, tartar, and plaque can buildup on dentures and damage your teeth and gums.
To effectively clean your dentures, remove them from your mouth and run clean water over them to rinse off any food particles.
Use a denture brush with a mild soap or denture cleaner to clean them. Never use regular toothpaste as it is too abrasive. Rinse them well after cleaning.
Clean your gums and natural teeth with a soft toothbrush twice a day.
Always remove your dentures before going to sleep. This helps to avoid them dislodging while you are asleep or causing any damage through clenching or grinding of the jaw.
Submerge your dentures in warm water to keep them from drying out overnight.
For dentures without metal components, use a denture-soaking solution to clean them effectively.
