To ensure partial dentures last, they need to be cleaned and cared for properly. Here are some ways to keep your dentures in good shape: • Every night before bed, clean your partial denture gently with a soft toothbrush and some mild soap or toothpaste. Ensure you don’t scrub too hard, as this could harm the denture. • Soak your denture overnight in warm water, mild liquid soap, or a dental cleanser made just for dentures. Always rinse the solution well before putting it back in your mouth. Soaking solutions may contain harsh chemicals that can hurt your gums. • Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings of your partial denture, especially if you start to see discolouration or plaque buildup on the surface of the denture. • When you’re not wearing your partial denture, keep it in a safe place, like a container of lukewarm water or a protective case made just for dental prosthetics. This will help keep dust and other things that could damage it over time away. By doing these easy things, you can keep your partial dentures in good shape so they last for a long time. If you have any questions about the right care, talk to your dentist at Aesthetic Dental & Denture Clinic. We’re always happy to help.
