Whether you have a new full denture or a partial you’ve made a substantial investment and you’ll want to do everything you can to protect it. Your decision to restore the teeth that you have lost to trauma or decay was a wise one. Without timely action, you could have experienced problems speaking clearly and eating the foods that you love to enjoy. When the bone structure has nothing to support it will begin to deteriorate and your facial expression will change.
There are ways to ensure that your denture will serve you well. The most important thing is to keep it clean and free of food particles. Take your denture out and rinse it thoroughly after each meal. Handle with care to prevent breakage. While your denture is out clean your mouth with a soft bristle toothbrush. Be sure to remove any material left over from a denture adhesive.
Brush your denture gently every day and soak it overnight in a made for denture use solution or in plain tap water if you prefer. Store it securely. Rinse it again before you put your denture back in place. If you do use a solution make sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any chemical residue.
Continue to see your dentist on a regularly scheduled basis. Your denture may need to be adjusted for fit, it should be professionally cleaned as well. Solar Dental Specialities can offer patients same-day denture service. Call 720-739-1630 to arrange for a personal consultation.
