How should I care for and clean my dentures?

Denture care is essential to the integrity of your prosthetic and gum health. Even with full-mouth prosthetics, dentistry is still crucial!

Your Lincoln dentist offers complete, partial, and implant-supported dentures to meet your needs and goals.

Denture Care for Optimal Oral Health

  • Denture Soaking — You should remove your dentures at night and soak them in a special bath. You can add a disinfecting tablet to the soak. Drugstores typically carry denture baths and tablets.
  • Special Denture Brush and Polish—You can find a denture cleaning brush and polish at your local drugstore. It would be best to use only denture paste or polish. Regular toothpaste can damage or scratch your prosthetic.
  • Rinse Your Dentures—Rinse your dentures throughout the day to remove any trapped food or bacteria.
  • See Your Dentist — Regular checkups are still essential to monitor gum health. You should also book an appointment if you damage your prosthetic or it feels too loose, even with drugstore adhesives.
