​

Daily Denture Care Routine:

1. Morning Routine:

   • Start your day by removing your dentures and rinsing them under running water to remove any debris.

   • Brush your dentures using a soft-bristle denture brush, mild soap, or denture paste to remove plaque and bacteria. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be abrasive.

   • Clean your mouth and gums with a soft toothbrush or moistened gauze to stimulate blood flow and maintain oral health.

2. After Meals:

   • Rinse your dentures after meals to remove food particles and prevent staining.

   • If possible, brush your dentures using a denture brush and mild cleaning solution. Avoid hot water, as it can cause denture warping.

3. Nighttime Routine:

   • Before bedtime, remove your dentures for an extended period to allow your gums to rest and recover.

   • Soak your dentures in a denture-cleaning solution to remove stains and disinfect.

 

Additional Tips for Denture Care:

1. Handle with Care:

   • Handle your dentures over a basin filled with water or a folded towel to prevent damage if accidentally dropped.

   • Avoid using abrasive materials, such as hard-bristle brushes or harsh cleaning agents, as they can scratch or damage the denture surface.

2. Regular Checkups:

   • Schedule regular checkups with your denturist for adjustments, repairs, and to ensure your dentures fit properly.

   • Address any issues promptly, such as cracks, chips, or changes in fit, to prevent further damage.

3. Avoiding Staining Agents:

   • Minimize exposure to staining agents like coffee, tea, and tobacco to maintain the appearance of your dentures.

4. Proper Storage:

   • When not in use, store your dentures in a denture container filled with a soaking solution to prevent drying out.

5. Stay Hydrated:

   • Stay well-hydrated to maintain the moisture levels in your mouth, which contributes to the comfort of wearing dentures.
