Proper care of your dentures is essential to ensure their longevity and maintain your oral health. At California Dental Group, we provide comprehensive instructions and support for taking care of your dentures so they remain in top condition.
How to Care for Your Dentures
Taking care of your dentures involves cleaning them regularly and handling them with care to avoid damage. Proper care includes:
- Daily cleaning: Clean your dentures every day to remove food particles and plaque. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush or a denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser to gently scrub the surface.
- Soaking: Dentures should be soaked in a denture-cleaning solution overnight to keep them clean and hydrated.
- Handling with care: Be careful not to drop your dentures, as they can break if dropped on a hard surface.
Regular Check-Ups for Dentures
It’s important to schedule regular check-ups with California Dental Group to ensure your dentures continue to fit well and function properly. Over time, the shape of your gums and jaw can change, and adjustments may be needed to maintain a comfortable fit.
- Professional cleanings: Dentures should be professionally cleaned during your regular dental visits to ensure they remain free from plaque and bacteria.
- Routine exams: Regular exams help monitor the health of your gums and ensure that your dentures are fitting properly.
