Denture & Partial Denture Care

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 removed nightly and placed in soaking solution or water.
Dentures should be brushed inside and outside daily with a soft, large nylon denture tooth brush with round-ended bristles.
Use a non-abrasive denture cleaner instead of toothpastes, which are too abrasive and will scratch your denture. Rinse with cold water.
Clean you mouth after removing your dentures with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
When not in use, cover dentures with water or a denture-cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out.
Always thoroughly rinse the denture before placing it in your mouth, especially if using a denture-soaking solution.
Dentures warp if placed in hot water.
Discuss all your current medications with your doctor and dental professional.
Be sure to visit your dental professional regularly.
