Food debris and plaque need to be cleaned from all denture surfaces daily. Clean your dentures using a soft toothbrush and mild soap and water or denture paste. Standard toothpaste is not recommended.
Clean your dentures over a hand-basin half filled with water to prevent breakage if dropped.
Brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft toothbrush before you insert your dentures. This stimulates circulation in your tissues and helps remove plaque.
If your denture breaks or is damaged, stop wearing it straight away. Do not try to repair it, bend it or modify it. Call us on 02 9281 0007 for an appointment to fix it.

A note on this articleThis is general information written for patients, not dental advice for your own mouth. Teeth, gums and medical histories differ, and so does what suits them, so please have a dentist examine you before deciding on any treatment. If something in your mouth is painful, bleeding or has been knocked out, ring us on (02) 9281 0007 rather than waiting.
