Are your dentures showing excessive wear? Do they no longer fit properly or cause discomfort? Are you having trouble eating or chewing properly? If so, adhesive is not the solution for ill-fitting dentures. At Affordable Dentures, we understand the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene and the impact it can have on your overall health.

For those who wear dentures at night, it is imperative to clean your dentures and mouth thoroughly to prevent any irritation, odour, or disease that may arise from poor oral hygiene management. Removing your dentures at night gives your gums, bones, and other denture-bearing tissues a chance to relax and recover.

If you are a first-time denture wearer, it may take time for your tongue and mouth to adjust to your new dentures. Eating will require some practice, so we recommend starting with softer foods and cutting them into small pieces. Over time, you will adjust and return to your normal eating habits.

Dentures are expected to last up to 8-10 years before needing replacement. However, within 3-4 years, you may require a reline as denture teeth wear down and your mouth changes shape. It is crucial to handle your dentures with care while cleaning them to avoid dropping and breaking them. We recommend brushing your dentures daily with a denture paste, avoiding toothpaste. Brushing your dentures before soaking them helps remove any food debris.

To remove stubborn stains and leave your dentures feeling fresh and clean, we suggest using a denture cleaner according to the instructions on the packaging. It is best to use a small- to medium-headed toothbrush and thoroughly clean all surfaces of the dentures, especially if you are using denture adhesive to prevent adhesive build-up. If you notice a build-up of stains or scale, our team can professionally clean your dentures.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial while wearing full dentures. Brushing your gums, the roof of your mouth, and your tongue with a soft-bristled toothbrush every day helps keep your mouth clean, healthy, and stimulates circulation. Using a mouthwash can also help kill bacteria. If you wear partial dentures, continue your oral hygiene practices by thoroughly brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing to prevent tooth decay and gum disease that may result in further tooth loss.
