DO |
DON'T |
|---|---|
| Remove and rinse your dentures after eating | Put dentures back in your mouth without rinsing, especially when using a denture-soaking solution |
| Soak in approved denture cleaners, such as Polident or Efferdent | Soak in mouthwash — this may cause discoloration to the teeth |
| Brush your dentures AT LEAST once daily, twice if you can. Use room temperature water, a soft-bristled brush, and denture cleaning solution | Scrub with toothpaste or other abrasive materials or chemicals. NEVER boil to cleanse — hot water can warp the material, causing permanent damage |
| Handle with care — dentures can break easily if dropped! | Superglue broken pieces together — this may make a simple repair more complex and costly |
| Take your denture/partial out at night and STORE THEM IN THEIR CASE | Put dentures in pockets, on nightstands, or in a paper towel. They may get lost or damaged |
| Bring your denture/partial to every dentalappointment | Skip your annual dental exam EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO TEETH! Your oral health still needs regular evaluation |
| Call Light Dental Studios if your dentures are causing discomfort, are loose/falling out, or if they appear broken/worn. Our doctors and in-house lab can help the fastest | Ignore your own questions, concerns, or emergency repair needs.
