Caring for your Dentures

To care for your dentures you should remove and brush them daily with a toothbrush and toothpaste over a sink full of water to prevent your denture from breaking if you accidentally drop them.

To protect your denture, avoid chewing ice or other hard objects.

Unless we tell you otherwise, remove your denture for sleeping or at least for 6 to 8 hours a day.

Store your denture in water mixed with mouthwash or a soaking solution whenever it is out of your mouth, so it does not dry out.

It is also important to continue regular visits to the dentist to maintain proper fit, and to ensure that your oral tissues remain healthy.
