How best should I care for my Easy Denture?

Properly cleaning and caring for your denture is an important part of your oral heath. A good oral hygiene routine consists of the following:

1. Always remove and rinse your denture after eating to get rid of loose food partials.
2. Do not sleep with your denture in your mouth. (If that causes pain due to TMJ problems, etc., try using a custom-made TMJ night guard or possibly a standard boil-and-bite night guard lined with dental impression putty instead.)
3. Brush your denture at least once per day with a soft or regular toothbrush, using dish soap or liquid antibacterial soap, or after soaking with denture cleaning tablets (avoid regular toothpaste, since it is too abrasive). Make sure all food and old adhesive are removed.
4. Brush your gums and tongue every day with a soft toothbrush (a different one from the toothbrush you use to clean your denture). You can gargle with lightly salted warm water to help remove any residual adhesive. It is also recommended to use a clean washcloth or microfiber cloth to wipe along your gums and on the roof of your mouth. Finish with a final mouth rinse with warm water.
5. After removing, cleaning, or storing your denture, rinse it thoroughly before putting it back in your mouth.

We do not recommend leaving your denture in water for extended periods of time, such as overnight.

** Do not soak your denture in hot water between fittings, as it could deform the materials.**
