Advice and tips on caring for your dentures
- Only your dentist is qualified to assess your oral health and make adjustments to your partial or denture.
- A soft, big nylon denture tooth brush with round-ended bristles should be used every day to brush dentures on the inside and exterior.
- Instead of toothpaste, which is extremely abrasive and will scratch your dentures, use denture creams. Use cold water to rinse.
- When submerged in hot water, dentures stretch. Regularly check your denture for worn teeth.
- Your appearance can age you and your dentures can perform poorly if they are worn and discolored.
- Talk to your dentist and doctor about all of your current medications. Make sure to schedule routine appointments with your dentist.
- Check any loose dentures right once because they can put strain and friction on the bones and gum tissues.
- When not in use, cover dentures with water or a denture-cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out

FEAR OF DENTAL WORK?
Up to 75% of Americans have some level of dental phobia, and 20% choose not to get their teeth cleaned as a result. We want you to know that our top goal is making you feel safe and at ease while visiting our office. Dental phobias and anxieties can manifest in many different ways, and each person has different fears. Dental anxiety can range from minor to serious, and it frequently manifests as a generalized feeling of fear and dread when anticipating a forthcoming surgery.
