Why Proper Denture Care Matters
Caring for your dentures isn’t just about keeping them clean—it’s essential for maintaining oral health, comfort, and durability. Poor denture maintenance can lead to staining, bad breath, infections, and premature wear. Whether you have fixed dentures, flexible dentures, or removable dentures, following a proper cleaning routine is key to keeping them in top condition.
How to Clean Dentures Properly
Daily Denture Care Routine:
✅ Rinse After Eating – Remove and rinse your dentures under water after meals to eliminate food debris.
✅ Brush Daily – Use a soft-bristled brush and denture-specific cleaner to remove plaque and stains. Avoid regular toothpaste, which can be abrasive.
✅ Soak Overnight – Keep dentures in a denture-cleaning solution or water to maintain their shape and prevent drying out.
How to Clean Flexible and Permanent Dentures:
- Flexible dentures require gentle brushing with non-abrasive products to prevent damage.
- Fixed dentures or permanent dentures should be cleaned just like natural teeth—brushing and flossing daily to prevent plaque buildup.
Common Denture Care Mistakes to Avoid
🚫 Using hot water – Can warp dentures, affecting their fit.
🚫 Skipping cleanings – Increases the risk of stains, bacteria buildup, and bad breath.
🚫 Ignoring discomfort – Loose or ill-fitting dentures can cause irritation and sores. Visit Newstead Smiles for adjustments.
