Keeping Dentures Clean

Your expert in dentures in Beverly Hills may have told you upon receiving dentures that they can last between five and seven years. It is important to know the best ways to keep your dentures clean, so as to ensure their long and healthy life span.

The following are some tips and rules to keeping your dentures clean:

·         Remove and rinse your dentures after eating meals. This will eliminate any food stuck that can cause wear and tear.

·         Handle carefully. Be sure to clean your dentures over a full sink of water, so if you accidentally drop them they do not land on the hard counter surface, which could chip or break them.

·         Be sure to clean your mouth after removing them by rinsing.

·         Brush your dentures at least once daily. Again, this will help to get rid of any debris.

·         Soak them over night.

·         Rinse them before putting them back on, especially after they have been soaked in any sort of cleaning solution.

·         Be sure to schedule regular checkups with a dentist in Beverly Hills.

·         Pay attention to how they fit. Your dentures are very dependent on your gum health, and looseness can indicate a problem with the gums.
