At Home Care
Caring for Your Dentures at Home
Proper care at home is essential for keeping your dentures clean, comfortable, and long lasting. At Alberta Denture Centre, we want you to get the most out of your dentures with simple, effective daily care tips that protect your oral health and maintain a confident smile every day.
Simple Cleaning Tips
Rinse after meals to remove food particles and debris.
Brush gently with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to avoid scratching the surface.
Soak overnight in a denture-cleaning solution or plain water to keep them moist and maintain their shape.
Avoid using toothpaste, bleach, or hot water, which can damage dentures.
Keeping Your Dentures Healthy and Secure
Healthy Mouth Routine
Even with full dentures, it is important to care for your mouth. Clean your gums, tongue, and any natural teeth daily to reduce bacteria and support a healthy fit for your dentures.
Safe Handling Practices
Always handle your dentures over a soft towel or basin of water to prevent damage if dropped. When not in use, store them safely in a denture container.
Signs You Need a Checkup
Watch for signs that your dentures may need adjustment or replacement, such as discomfort, looseness, or sore spots. Regular checkups help ensure your dentures fit well.
Protect Your Smile with Professional Care
Home care keeps your dentures clean, but professional checkups keep them fitting and functioning their best. If your dentures feel loose, uncomfortable, or damaged, our team is here to provide adjustments, relines, or repairs.
