Denture care and good oral hygiene
 |
"Dr. Goodlett, how do you clean your dentures?" |
|
When cleaning your
dentures, you should first rinse away loose food
particles thoroughly. Then moisten your toothbrush and apply denture
cleanser. Brush every surface, scrubbing gently to avoid damage. |
|
|
|
"How many times a day does the denture need to be cleaned?" |
|
The denture needs to be cleaned two to three times daily. |
|
|
|
What is good oral hygiene when you have full dentures, Dr. Goodlett?" |
|
In addition to taking care of your dentures,
taking care of your mouth also is vital if you wear full dentures.
This includes brushing your gums, tongue, and palate every morning
with a soft-bristled brush before inserting your dentures. This
stimulates your tissues and helps remove plaque. We prescribe a
tissue conditioning rinse to help keep gums healthy. For more information about how we at Total Care Dentistry of Greenville can help you with dentures, call us at (864) 244-1494, we will be happy to talk with you. |
