COMPLETE AND PARTIAL DENTURES IN COSTA MESA, CA

Dentures require special attention to keep them working well and looking good.
● Handle Delicately: Dentures are fragile and should be handled very carefully at all times. They can break after being dropped just a few inches. When they are not in your mouth, handle your dentures over a folded towel or sink of cool water. Never place your dentures in hot water since the heat can warp them.
● Store Properly: When not in your mouth, dentures need to be stored in water so they will not dry out and lose their shape. Also, be sure to keep your dentures out of the reach of pets and children.
● Clean Thoroughly: Like your natural teeth, your dentures need to be cleaned well. Remove them from your mouth and rinse with cool water to remove loose food particles. Use a soft-bristled led denture brush led toothbrush with denture cleanser to clean them. Once you have finished cleaning your dentures, rinse them with cool water in case there are chemicals in the cleanser that are not meant to go into your mouth. Since dentures are more delicate and not made of the same materials as natural teeth and gums, do not use toothpaste and hard-bristled toothbrushes to clean them. Such cleaning materials may be too abrasive and scratch your dentures. This can leave them less attractive, more susceptible to stains, and harder to clean. Use denture cleaners that meet the American Dental Association’s standards for effectiveness and safety. These products have the ADA Seal of Acceptance on them. You should continue to clean all parts of the inside of your mouth daily as well. Brushing your palate, tongue, and gums every morning with a soft brush increases the circulation in your tissue and helps get rid of plaque.
● Diet: To keep your dentures in place and properly supported, you should maintain a healthy mouth. Along with cleaning your mouth daily, a balanced diet can keep your mouth strong. Also, avoid foods that may discolor or damage your dentures.
● Visit the Dentist: You should visit the dentist to make sure your dentures and mouth are functioning together correctly. Besides checking the fit of your dentures, the dentist will also look for any signs of oral diseases.
