Proper denture care is essential for maintaining oral health and ensuring the longevity and comfort of your dentures. Just because you have dentures doesn't mean you can ignore your oral hygiene. Regular dental visits to Blooming Smiles Dental in Kemptville with Dr. Ravneet Sohal are important for evaluating the condition of your oral tissues and ensuring your dentures fit correctly.
Here are some essential tips for denture care:
Cleaning Your Dentures
Rinse After Meals: Rinse your dentures with water after each meal to remove loose food debris.
Regular Brushing: Brush your dentures at least once a day, preferably before bedtime. You can use a soft-bristle denture brush or a soft toothbrush for this purpose.
Use Mild Cleaners: Use a denture cleaner, mild soap, or denture paste for brushing. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the denture surface.
Soaking: Soak your dentures in a denture cleaning solution as recommended by your dentist. This helps remove stains and deposits.
Ultrasonic Cleaning: Consider professional ultrasonic cleaning during your dental appointments with Dr. Ravneet Sohal to remove heavy stains and tartar.
Additional Care Tips
Handle with Care: Be gentle when handling your dentures to avoid breakage. Use a cushioned surface, like a folded towel or a basin of water, when cleaning them over a sink.
Avoid Hot Water: Never soak or rinse your dentures in hot water, as it can cause them to warp or lose their shape.
Nighttime Removal: Remove your dentures at night and keep them in water or a denture solution to maintain their moisture and shape.
Gum Care: Clean your gums with a soft toothbrush or a washcloth daily to remove plaque and stimulate circulation.
