TIPS

Keeping your dentures in good shape takes as much work as keeping natural teeth clean. Forest Lawn Denture Clinic has some tips to help take good care of them.

• During cleaning, hold your denture over a sink filled with water to avoid breaking it if you drop it
• Clean your dentures after every meal to remove food particles that may have gotten stuck around the denture teeth and under the denture itself
• Use a denture brush and denture cleaner to clean your dentures
• Denture cleaners, such as Nudent or Cleanse-A-dent cleaners, are available at Forest Lawn Denture Clinic for a minimal fee
• Soaking your dentures in a cleaning solution once a day is recommended to get rid of bacteria, stains, and tarter
• Soaking is good for cleaning rougher and narrower areas that are hard to clean with a brush
• Do not use hot water for rinsing or soaking as it can warp your dentures
• Do not use regular toothpaste to clean your dentures as it can have abrasive particles that damage the outer layer of your dentures
• Do not use bleach or any other household cleaner to clean your dentures as they can harm your mouth and dentures
• If needed, you can have your dentures professionally cleaned for a minimal fee
