Dental Benefit – Tips on Cleaning Your Dentures
Here are a few helpful tips in keeping your dentures clean
1) Rinse and brush your dentures in clean, warm water with a denture brush.
2) When cleaning dentures, be care not to brush then too hard. By brushing your dentures too hard you can cause damage to the plastic or metal parts of the dentures.
3) Brush your gums, tongue, and natural teeth with a fluoride toothpaste, before reinserting your dentures. This will help remove plaque from your teeth, stimulate circulation in your mouth, and help maintain good oral health. After brushing, rinse with a mouthwash, to give your mouth a refreshed feeling.
4) Never try to adjust your dentures yourself. This might cause harm to your mouth or damage to your dentures.
5) See your dentist as often as advised in order to maintain your dentures as well as your oral health care.
