GUIDELINES FOR USAGE OF DENTURES
GUIDELINES FOR USAGE OF DENTURES
Keep your denture(s) in your mouth. It may be difficult to talk, you will likely have an excess production of saliva, and it may feel as if your dentures do not fit correctly. All of these issues are normal, and the sensations should dissipate after a few days.
It is recommended to eat soft foods, such as ice cream, pudding, and mashed potatoes, after initial placement of your denture(s).
Rinsing with warm salt water may help alleviate sore spots from the dentures as your mouth adjusts to having something foreign in it.
Remove your denture(s) when going to sleep.
It is recommended that you wear your dentures every day; if you are experiencing soreness, please contact your dentist.
Just as tartar and stains form on natural teeth, the same applies to denture(s). Clean your denture(s) daily to keep them odor-free and looking natural.
