No matter the type of removable denture appliance, our dentists advise you don’t wear them while you sleep. Aside from needing to soak your dentures overnight to remove any lingering bacteria, weathering your dentures too long may cause oral health issues.
Patients should generally wear their dentures for eight hours each day, as any longer may irritate the soft tissues of your gums and lead to painful sores. If you have any questions concerning the care or function of your dentures, don’t hesitate to call our Woodland Hills office at 818-346-3337.
