What to Do After Denture Treatment

Denture care

How should removable dentures be cared for?

• Do not use any cleaning product other than those your dentist recommends.
• After meals, take the dentures out and clean them under running water with a soft brush and soap.
• If you still have natural teeth, brush them well with toothbrush and toothpaste. Clean toothless soft tissues with a soft brush.
• Keep the dentures in a container of clean water whenever they are out of your mouth.
• You can clean your dentures once a week with denture cleaning tablets.
• Unless your dentist advises otherwise, take your removable dentures out at night.

What should you pay attention to when wearing removable dentures?

• Put the denture in and take it out carefully. Place it with your fingers; never try to push it into place by biting.
• When removing dentures with clasps, hold the edges of the denture, not the clasps.
• If you use a snap-on or implant-supported removable denture, take care not to damage the rubber parts inside.
