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>

These days, dentures look SO natural, and they won\u2019t be noticeable at all. However, you have to take pride in them, just as you would with real teeth. Here\u2019s how!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

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 ruin our perfect shade matching.<\/p>

Rinse them properly before popping them back in.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you still have some teeth, you should brush and floss as normal.<\/p>

It\u2019s also vital that you brush your gums, tongue and palette!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To keep your dentures in tip-top shape, they’ll need to stay moist in most cases. That’s how you’ll ensure they stay a perfect fit.<\/p>

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>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

keep your dentures safe<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

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>

If you drop them, they can break easily as they\u2019re quite fragile.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you wear dentures, it\u2019s important to come for regular check-ups at smilogy. Dentures can sometimes come loose or experience other issues, and it\u2019s important we\u2019re on top of it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
