"Dr. Ziomek, 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. Ziomek?" |
|
Even if you have no natural teeth, you should see a
dentist yearly to evaluate the fit and function of your denture and
to have an oral cancer screening.
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. |
