Keep Your Dentures in Good Condition
If you don't wear dentures currently, there's a good chance that
you will at some future point. Millions of people around the
world have been fitted with artificial dental plates, bridges,
and other forms of denture appliances to make their smile more
attractive and to help them eat more easily. Teeth help us to
talk, to eat, and to express ourselves in a variety of
situations, and without them may put us at a loss. That is why
an average person may spend thousands of dollars to regain use
of lost teeth by getting dentures.
After getting your dentures, you don't want to forget about
their care. It may be tempting to stop brushing if several teeth
have been pulled and replaced by an artificial device. But you
need to keep dentures clean and in good condition if you want
them to last. Your dentist or hygienist will explain how to
brush, soak, and otherwise clean your dentures when you receive
them. There are several steps to be followed, and taking
shortcuts may lead to stained, broken, or ill-fitting teeth that
could become increasingly uncomfortable.
1. Use a dental adhesive to get your dentures to fit properly.
Stuffing them into your mouth any old way can lead to sores or
an improper fit, which could throw off your chewing and speech.
Work with your dentures at first until you develop a routine for
getting them into your mouth smoothly and easily. It won't take
long, and the results will be worth it. If the adhesive
irritates your mouth or doesn't work right, ask your dentist to
recommend another product. He or she may be able to
provide
samples.
2. Brush your dentures daily. Use the toothpaste recommended by
your dentist. Treat them as well as you would your original
teeth. Then soak them in the suggested solution overnight unless
you plan to wear them while sleeping. Be sure to rinse them
thoroughly to remove excess toothpaste or soaking solution. Use
mouthwash as needed for extra anti-bacterial assistance and oral
freshness.
3. Report any problems to your dentist. If the dentures chip,
bend, or otherwise get broken or warped, let your dentist know
so they can be quickly repaired. Leaving them out of your mouth
for more than a day or two may cause your mouth to regain its
former position, which will make it difficult to start wearing
the dentures again when they have been repaired or replaced.
Also let the dentist know if you experience any sores, a bad
taste, or other generalized problems with your mouth after you
begin wearing dentures.
Denture care is not difficult, but it needs to be practiced
consistently for good results. Don't neglect any remaining
original teeth you have, but rather give them great care to keep
them as long as possible. Let your dentist know if you develop
tooth sensitivity or discomfort that may signal a cavity.
Heading off major problems can help your dentures to work more
effectively and for longer periods of time.
