Advice and tips on caring for your dentures

Only your dental professional is qualified to diagnose your oral health and adjust your denture or partial.
Dentures should be brushed inside and outside daily with a soft, toothbrush or denture brush with round-ended bristles.
Use dishwashing liquid to cleanse your denture instead of toothpastes, which are too abrasive and will scratch your denture. Rinse with cold water.
Dentures warp if placed in hot water.
Inspect your denture regularly for worn teeth.
Inspect your denture for small stress lines.
Discuss all your current medications with your doctor and dental professional.
Be sure to visit your dental professional regularly.
Have loose dentures checked immediately as they can cause friction and pressure on the gum tissues and bones.
When not in use,store dentures out of the reach of any pets. They tend to chew them.
Most dental insurance policies provide coverage for new dentures every 5-10 years.
