Having dentures doesn’t eliminate the need for oral care. Good oral hygiene habits ensure that your mouth is free from decay and infection-causing bacteria.
Even if you don’t have any natural teeth remaining, it’s important to brush your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth with a soft-bristled toothbrush at least twice a day. This can not only remove plaque but also increase blood circulation.
If you do have remaining natural teeth, Dr. Burneson recommends flossing at least once a day in addition to brushing your teeth.
