- Take your denture out every night when you go to sleep. Place it in some water in the box or cup with water Letting your denture dry out by not storing in a cup of water will slightly change it's shape enough to adversely effect the fit.
- Occasionally soak your denture in a commercial denture cleansing product which your dentist may prescribe to help disinfect it
- Rinse your mouth with mouthwash (without the denture) at least once a day to keep your mouth clean. This helps cut down on the amount of bacteria and fungus in the mouth which can lead to bad breath, denture sores, and infections.
- Make an appointment as soon as you develop any sores, change in fit, or any other problem you would like us to address.
