Denture Care & Maintenance
Dentists may instruct patients on how to properly care for and utilize their dentures in addition to guiding the denture's manufacturing. When dentures are not being worn, for instance, soaking them in water or a denture cleaning solution maintains them malleable, helps them maintain their form, and prevents them from drying out. Never put dentures in hot or boiling water since doing so might cause them to distort. Plaque, stains, and calculus can build up on partial or complete dentures like real teeth. If the denture is not properly cleaned, built-up biofilm may play a role in the emergence of oral health issues such as denture-related stomatitis.
