DENTURE CARE ADVICE & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We recommend you brush your dentures, soak them and then brush them again. Always clean your dentures over a basin of water or a folded towel to prevent damage should you drop them. For best results, brush with a soft toothbrush and denture cleanser to help remove any stains.

Do not attempt to use bleach on your dentures as it can permanently damage them, making them brittle and liable to breakage. Not just that, it can ruin their appearance making them look less natural. Avoid using very hot water as well, as this can distort their shape and you may need to have them relined.

When your dentures are new, we would recommend you wear them to sleep in. This helps your gums to adapt. After a week or two, we suggest removing them at bedtime to allow your gums to be cleansed by the saliva on your tongue.

For adults, a well-maintained mouthguard will last a long time. We recommend washing it in cold water, storing it in its original packaging and away from direct sunlight.

Children's mouths are constantly changing as they lose teeth and new ones erupt. Ask your dentist to check the mouthguard at your child's regular dental check-up.
