Denture
Here’s a quick guide for post-denture care to ensure a healthy recovery:
Follow Dentist’s Instructions: Adhere to any specific guidelines provided by your dentist.
Clean Your Dentures: Rinse dentures after meals and clean them daily with a denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste as it can be abrasive.
Soak Dentures: Keep dentures moist when not in use by soaking them in water or a denture solution to prevent warping.
Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your gums, tongue, and the roof of your mouth daily to remove plaque and stimulate blood flow.
Adjust Gradually: Wear your dentures for short periods initially and gradually increase the time as you get used to them.
Manage Discomfort: Expect some initial discomfort and minor soreness. If pain persists or worsens, contact your dentist.
Avoid Hot or Hard Foods: Stick to soft, easy-to-chew foods for the first few days to avoid irritation.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help with saliva production and overall comfort.
Visit Your Dentist Regularly: Schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your dentures fit properly and make any necessary adjustments.
Handle with Care: Be gentle when handling your dentures to avoid breaking or damaging them.
