Rinse several times a day with warm salt water and if discomfort persist, you must return for an adjustment. Excessive salivation, gagging, slurred speech, funny taste, etc., are all common problems experienced initially. Chewing and talking must be completely relearned with a new lower denture. Time and patience will take care of the majority of these problems. When cleaning your teeth, be careful as you remove them.
Dentures can break when dropped into a sink or on a floor.
Never apply too much pressure to your dentures, as this may accidentally break them as well. Do not try to adjust or repair dentures yourself. Soap, baking soda or salt with water can be used to clean dentures safely. For the first two or three weeks, avoid foods which need cutting. Avoid raw vegetables, fibrous meats and sticky or doughy foods.
