Not to mention, it\u2019s also necessary for your oral health. You\ncan keep your mouth healthy and protect your dentures by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Handling Your Dentures with Care<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures are durable, allowing them to\nwithstand the pressure of regular chewing; however, they can break. You can\nprevent accidental damage by handling your dentures carefully. It\u2019s best to\nplace a folded towel on the counter and sink to provide a layer of protection\nif you drop them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Brushing and Rinsing Your Dentures<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your dentures aren\u2019t subject to\ndecay, you still need to brush them daily to prevent stains and unpleasant\nodors. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a clear hand soap to clean all\nsurfaces of your dentures. Don\u2019t use toothpaste or a brush with hard bristles,\nwhich can cause small scratches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Rinsing After Every Meal<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to rinse your dentures after\nevery meal to prevent food particles and plaque from lingering on your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Storing Them Properly<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When your dentures aren\u2019t in your mouth, it\u2019s\nbest to store them correctly in a special solution. Your dentures must be kept moist\nto maintain their shape. If they dry out, they can warp. Be sure to use one that\u2019s\nmade for dentures to avoid damaging them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Avoiding Expose to Heat<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t use hot water to clean your dentures\nor expose them to excessive heat. This can cause them to warp, creating an\nimproper fit and increasing your risk of a fracture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Visiting Your Dentist Regularly<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t have any natural teeth\nremaining, it\u2019s important to visit your dentist in Chevy Chase at least twice a\nyear. This allows them to monitor your oral health while also providing the maintenance\nyour dentures need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Do My Dentures Need to be Replaced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the best care, your dentures will need to be\nreplaced over time because your gums, jaw, and face will change shape. This can\nlead to slipping and irritation. If your dentures aren\u2019t fitting as well as before,\nit\u2019s time to visit your dentist for adjustments or a replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Ronan Freyne<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.docronan.com\/meet-dr-ronan-freyne.html\">Dr.\nRonan Freyne<\/a> is committed to providing high-quality dental care from a\nrelaxed environment.
