Caring for full dentures

Instructions for cleaning and maintaining removable dentures

1. Cleaning and brushing the denture and the teeth is done after each meal and in the evening before bed, even if you have not eaten in the evening;
2. The denture should be brushed with a nail brush, with soap and cold water;
3. To avoid the build-up of tartar and tobacco stains, it is recommended once a week, at night, to keep the denture in a glass of water and vinegar or to use a Corega tablet;
4. Do not clean the denture with boiling water, chemicals, alcohol or abrasive powders of the Tix type, as they degrade the acrylic material;
5. The denture is worn day and night until you get used to it, and after that it can be kept overnight in a glass of water;
6. With a complete denture, it is recommended to avoid biting directly into hard foods (e.g. apple, sandwiches, meat, fruit, vegetables); these should be cut into small pieces and chewed on the back teeth;
7. Return for a check-up after 24 hours, then at 6 months and periodically at 12 months;

Note: Dentures with special systems require relining (rebuilding the interior of the denture) and replacement of the silicone gaskets once a year in order to increase their service life.
