Getting dentures is one thing. Keeping your dentures
clean is another thing. What are some of the best ways to keep your dentures
clean whilst wearing them or taking them out?
Different Ways To Keep Your Dentures
Clean
The first thing one has
to do is always take them out after eating and rinse the dentures. After
that, at least once a day, use denture cream to scrub the inside and the
outside of the
dentures.
Using toothpaste on your
dentures is discouraged because of the
chemicals they contain. Toothpaste usually contains complex sandpaper-type
organisms, which give it a somewhat gritty
texture.
After using denture cream
to scrub the insides and outsides of the dentures thoroughly, make sure to
give it another rinse with room temperature water. If you use too hot or cold
water, the composition of the materials might change so that the dentures may
crack or melt.
Too
Many Fizzy Tabs?
There is no set rule on
how many fizzy tabs you must use for your dentures. However, it is considered
to be good practice to maintain a schedule. This is because there is an
anti-microbial fizz that kills the bugs that may attach to the plastic
materials of the
dentures.
How Long Should Your Dentures Be Out Of Your
Mouth?
When taking out your
dentures, whenever that may be, the recommended duration for them to be out
is at least 20-45
minutes.
