4 Helpful Tips to Clean Your Dentures

dentures

Nobody feels comfortable talking and smiling with an incomplete set of teeth, thus the reason why the dental society has created artificial dentures in order for those who are toothless to have temporary teeth.
However, the greatest challenge in having dentures is that you have to be more conscious of your oral care and you must give special attention when cleaning your dentures as well.

Being one of the top providers of ental care in Sterling Parkway Lincoln, CA, Tooth Spa Dentistry aims to give you the basic routine and denture care tips that you can do at home. You may need to visit your dentist every now and then to have your teeth checked, but leave it to us to help you with your daily oral care.

Here are some helpful tips that you can do at home:

  1. Brush your teeth after every meal
    This is the golden rule when it comes to dental care, as well as in denture care. It is part of our oral hygiene to always make sure that we brush off all the food particles that’s stuck in our teeth as we eat. This is the same rule in denture care. Food debris will also stick to our dentures as often times. This is the primary cause of bad breath or could destroy the dentures easily. You should know how to properly brush your teeth so that all the areas will be covered.
  2. Keep your dentures moist always
    When we are using our dentures in the daytime, it is readily moist because of our saliva. However, at night, dentists do not always recommend patients to wear them when they sleep. That is why our dentists would always give us a soaking solution where we can place our dentures at night. This will help ward off the bacteria that was not removed by your toothbrush, and this could also preserve its shape and form. However, you have to rinse it properly the next day to remove the chemicals in the solution as it could be toxic to your body.
  3. Fix your loose dentures right away!
    Your dentures may fit you perfectly in the first few months of usage. When you look at your teeth in the mirror, you will notice that your dentures closely resemble your real teeth and that is amazing. But over time, as you use it always, the fit will loosen. One day, you will notice how the denture will suddenly fall off from your gums or they tend to move easily. You need to have this fixed by your dentist right away. Do not wait for the dentures to cause your mouth irritation or infections because that would be a bigger problem than just a loose denture by then.
  4. Be careful of teeth whitening products
    We dream of a pearly white smile and so we always love to buy the toothpaste that promises us white teeth. But we should really be aware of teeth bleaching products. Sometimes, these products do not really whiten our teeth, but instead, it slowly destroys our enamel, making our teeth susceptible to decay. Our teeth are naturally yellow so you do not have to worry about it. But if you really need to whiten your teeth, it is best to seek professional treatment for it.

How do you take good care of your teeth? Do you always practice good hygiene for you dentures? Do not take your teeth and your dentures for granted. Give them the best care that they deserve. After all, they are the reason why you can eat your favorite steak and have a piece of that chocolate cake.
