Tooth loss can negatively impact your life in several ways. You might suffer malnutrition if you can\u2019t eat a well-balanced diet, for example, or could develop a lisp or other challenges speaking. You might even find that you avoid social interactions if you\u2019re overly self-conscious about the state of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, your dentist can rebuild your grin with dentures<\/a>. These prosthetics are the tried-and-true method for replacing teeth because of the many benefits they provide. With them in place, you\u2019ll be able to eat and converse more easily, so you don\u2019t have to worry as much about what others think of you. To keep making the most of them, however, it\u2019s important to care for your dentures properly. Keep reading to learn 3 tips that can keep them in excellent condition so they can continue to serve you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Brush Them Twice Daily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you have no natural teeth remaining, maintaining a consistent dental hygiene routine is essential. Bacteria can cling to your artificial teeth just like your real ones, potentially leading to gum disease that can impact your jawbone. It’s important to remove your dentures twice daily to thoroughly brush and floss them. Remember, standard toothpaste can abrade the materials, so opt for a soft-bristled brush and mild dish soap or a special cleanser to gently brush away food particles, germs, and any leftover adhesive if you use it. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial to ensure your oral health is in top shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Soak Them at Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although it can take about a month to adjust to your restoration, once you\u2019re used to having it in your mouth, you might even start to forget it\u2019s there. That might be bad news when you\u2019re getting ready for bed at night. It\u2019s tempting to simply slip into bed and fall asleep with your dentures still in your mouth, but you might regret it if you do. Your gums need a break from the constant pressure of supporting them to avoid developing sores, and your prosthetics will need to be washed after a long day. Leaving them to soak in a glass of cool water or a cleaning solution helps them retain their shape and kills off up to 99% of unwanted particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Keep Your Mouth Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t want to go through the extra effort of purifying your restoration just to contaminate it by putting it into a germy mouth. When you take them out, it\u2019s a good idea to also scrub your tongue, the inside of your cheeks, and the roof of your mouth. You can use a soft-bristled toothbrush or simply rub them down with a piece of folded gauze or a clean washcloth. It\u2019s a simple but effective way to prevent potential dental problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know more about how to keep your dentures looking and feeling great, you can keep your smile in tip-top shape for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
