Instruction for Complete Denture:

  reduce tipping, and greater chewing forces are possible. Demonstrate this using cotton rolls.

How to keep your Denture clean:

• Your dentures must be kept very clean to prevent the fouling of food particles and the overgrowth of bacteria. It is best to brush the dentures after each

  meal and before retiring. A special denture brush is DO NOT use an abrasive soap or cleaner as the latter can ruin the fit of the denture. Clean the denture over a

  sink bowl that is half filled with water. This will prevent breakage in case the denture slips from your fingers.

• Tartar tends to collect on the denture just as it did on your natural teeth. This can often be removed by soaking the denture in white vinegar for an hour

  or more. Another problem is stain which comes from smoking, coffee, tea ,etc. Many commercial preparations are available, but you can make your own cleansing solution

  by using :

1 teaspoon of kitchen bleach (Clorox, Purex) + 2 teaspoons of calgon (water softening agent) in 1 glass of water.

Soak the denture twice a weak for twenty minutes in this solution and the denture will be relatively free from stain, tartar and bacteria. Do NOT soak metal partial

denture in this solution because the bleach will ruin the metal.

The health of your gums and tissue that support the denture is very important.

When cleaning the denture, it is advisable to rinse the mouth vigorously with plain water or mild commercial mouthwash.

A daily gentle massage with a soft nylon toothbrush with toothpaste is very beneficial.

Healthy oral tissue is best obtained when the dentures are left out at night. The compressed gums must have rest for proper blood circulation and repair.

Some denture wearers must keep the dentures in all night for personal reasons. In this case, the dentures should be left out at other times during the day. For the

best results, follow your Dentist’s advice in this matter. When the dentures are left out of the mouth, they are placed in a container of water as otherwise they may

wrap and the fit can be changed.
