After you’ve made the personal choice to get dentures, you’ll want to
keep them looking and feeling as good as new. With these tips, you can
keep your smile as bright as ever.

Play it safe

When you look at your dentures, you’ll notice that they are made of
either plastic or porcelain and can contain some metal parts. Because
of this structure, you may realize that they are actually quite
fragile in design and need to be treated with care.

When you are cleaning your dentures, you’ll want to hold them
carefully over a sink full of water to cushion them should they slip
from your hands. A folded towel also works well to protect them from
breakage should the dentures fall.

Remove them at night

In order to keep the shape of the dentures, most dentists will
recommend that you remove them at night while you are sleeping. When
they are not in your mouth, you can store them in a special denture
cleaning solution.

This removal also lets your gums rest during the course of the night
before you place them back into your mouth. Most dentists will
recommend that the dentures be removed for six to eight hours every
day.

Clean them well

With a specially designed toothbrush for dentures, you’ll want to
clean your dentures. These brushes are made to avoid scratching the
delicate surface as other conventional brushes might do.

Start by water rinsing the dentures of any loose particles of food.
This helps to keep things from sticking to the surface and then
scratching or damaging the appearance. If you go to brush without
rinsing, you can push the particles back and forth against the
dentures.

You’re also taking care to remove any plaque that may have built up
during the day from the foods that you have eaten.

The cleanser that you should use is not the traditional toothpaste,
but rather a specific denture cleanser. This also helps to protect the
surface and the shape of the dentures. If you’re in a rush, a mild
dishwashing or hand soap can also be effective for cleaning.

Rinse your dentures

After you’re done carefully brushing your dentures, taking care to
remove any plaque, then you should be sure to rinse away the denture
cleanser thoroughly from the surfaces.

This cleanser can be harsh to the surface of the gums if not removed
properly. Take your time to put the dentures under a stream of water
for the best results.

Before you place the dentures in your mouth

When you’re ready to put your dentures back into your mouth, you’ll
need to carefully brush your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth in
order to have a clean surface for attaching them. This also helps to
keep the circulation of your gums stimulated and remove plaque at the
same time.

While you might not have your original teeth, you do have some
beautiful new ones to take care of. By following these five tips,
you’re certain to keep smiling.
