Every patient who comes to our denture clinic is provided with the most updated and proper way to care for their dentures at home. It is essential to ensure your dentures are cleaned every day and after every meal. The food particles caught in your dentures, like regular teeth, create acid when mixed with saliva. This can cause your dentures to produce plaque, have an odor, become discolored, and even cause gum disease.
To keep your dentures clean, they should be brushed with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive denture cream. It is important to note that you should rinse your dentures thoroughly under warm water after touching them. As an alternative, they can also be soaked in a denture cleaner. We also recommend mixing up how you clean your dentures, switching between a brush and a soaking clean.
Most patients with dentures take them out at night to soak in water. However, this is not mandatory. Some patients prefer to keep their dentures in as it helps prevent joint pain. Should you wash your dentures at night, do not use boiling water, bleach, or other detergents to clean them. During your cleaning, if you notice any signs of wear, plaque, or stains, please call our office, as it is better and more efficient to fix these issues now.
