Dentures can restore your smile and confidence, but like natural teeth, they require proper care to stay clean, comfortable, and long-lasting. At Dr. Hartman Dentistry in Bonner Springs, we specialize in creating dentures that fit beautifully—and we want to help you keep them that way.
Here’s a complete guide to caring for your dentures at home.
1. Daily Cleaning Is a Must
Just like natural teeth, dentures can collect food particles and plaque. Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive cleanser. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can scratch the surface.
2. Handle with Care
Dentures can break if dropped, so always clean them over a folded towel or bowl of water. Handle them gently to prevent damage.
3. Keep Dentures Moist When Not in Use
Dentures need to stay hydrated to keep their shape. When not wearing them, place them in room-temperature water or a denture-soaking solution overnight. Never use hot water, which can warp them.
4. Care for Your Mouth Too
Even with dentures, it’s important to brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth daily to keep your mouth healthy and prevent irritation.
5. Regular Check-Ups Are Key
Over time, your mouth naturally changes, and dentures may need adjustments. Visiting Dr. Hartman Dentistry for routine check-ups ensures your dentures fit comfortably and securely.
