Caring for dentures is easy, when you know how. When our customers get dentures for the first time, they can feel a little overwhelmed. Sure, they\u2019re rebuilding their smile and therefore building up their confidence, but dentures are a big adjustment.<\/p>\n
These days, dentures can look very natural, and most people won\u2019t notice them. However, you have to take pride in them, just as you would with real teeth. Here\u2019s how!<\/p>\n
After eating, it\u2019s important to get into a habit of brushing your dentures with a soft bristled brush. This will remove food particles and stop bacteria from becoming a problem. Don\u2019t use whitening toothpaste, because this can bleach them and spoil their shade matching.<\/p>\n
Rinse them properly before popping them back in.<\/p>\n
If you still have some teeth, you should brush and floss as normal.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also vital that you brush your gums, tongue and palate!<\/p>\n
To keep your dentures in tip-top shape, they’ll need to stay moist in most cases. That helps them keep a good fit.<\/p>\n
You can choose to store in water or a denture-soaking solution. If you come to smilogy, we’ll talk you through what’s best for you.<\/p>\n
In order to brush them or soak them, you\u2019ll need to take your dentures out. It\u2019s best to place them in water or on a towel when they\u2019re not in your mouth.<\/p>\n
If you drop them, they can break easily as they\u2019re quite fragile.<\/p>\n
If you wear dentures, it\u2019s important to come for regular check-ups<\/a> at smilogy. Dentures can sometimes come loose or experience other issues, and it\u2019s important we\u2019re on top of it.<\/p>\n If you have any questions at all about your dentures, our friendly Australian dentists have the answers.
