Dos and Essential Care

The removable partial dentures are either semirigid, flexible and rigid. The selection of rigidity for partial dentures varies from patient to patient.

1. Regular follow-up appointments are needed after a denture is inserted so the fit can be checked and adjusted. If any problem persists, particularly irritation or soreness, be sure to consult us at “Aryas Dental and Implant Clinic”. Be sure to schedule regular dental checkups, too. The dentist will examine your mouth to see if your dentures continue to fit properly.
2. Maintain good oral hygiene – Even if you wear full dentures, you still have to maintain good dental hygiene. Brush and massage your gums, tongue and roof of your mouth every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque.
3. Maintain good denture hygiene – Like your teeth, your dentures should also be brushed daily to remove food particles and plaque. Brushing also prevent the teeth from staining.

• Rinse your dentures before brushing to remove any loose food or debris.
• Gently clean all the surfaces of dentures using a soft bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser.
• When brushing, clean your mouth thoroughly to remove any plaque. This can help reduce the risk of oral irritation and bad breath.
• When you’re not wearing your dentures, put them in a safe place in bowl of water.

Remember to remove your dentures and put them in a bowl of water before going to sleep.
