Q: Can I wear my dentures at night during sleep?
A. No, we do not advise you to wear your dentures at night. Keep them in a bowl filled with water before sleeping at night. You may swallow your denture if you keep on wearing them during sleep.
Q: How should I clean my dentures?
A. You need to remove your dentures in order to clean them properly. Rinse your dentures to remove any food debris. Then, you need to soak them in a denture cleansing solution. After some time, rinse them under running water with a soft bristle toothbrush. Do not use normal tooth paste to clean your dentures. Tooth paste contains abrasives that can scratch the surface of your dentures.
Q: Why do I need to soak my dentures when I am not wearing them?
A. Dentures will dry up, loose their shape and can get damaged if not soaked in water or a denture soaking solution when they are out of mouth. Do not use hot water for that purpose.
Q: What should I do if my dentures get damaged?
A. Damaged and chipped dentures need to be repaired immediately. Otherwise they can damage and cut your gums. Visit our dental professionals at ABC Dental Care for the repair of your damaged dentures.
