Denture Care

Advice and tips on caring for your dentures

• Only your dentist is qualified to diagnose your oral health and adjust your denture or partial.
• Dentures should be brushed inside and outside daily with a soft, large nylon denture toothbrush with round-ended bristles.

• Use denture creams instead of toothpastes, which are too abrasive and will scratch your denture.  Rinse with cold water.

• Dentures may warp if placed in hot water.

• Inspect your denture regularly for worn teeth.

• Worn and stained dentures can make you look older and cause your dentures to function poorly.

  Discuss all your current medications with your doctor and dentist.

• Be sure to visit your dentist regularly.

• Have loose dentures checked immediately as they can cause friction and pressure on the gum tissues and bones.

• When not in use, cover dentures with water or a denture-cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out.
