How to care for new dentures?

The following few steps can help you answer this question and enjoy your new dentures:

• For the first few days, suck on small peppermints to help you deal with excessive salivation.
• Read aloud for at least 30 minutes daily. So you will learn to speak words faster with the new prostheses.
• Start feeding initially with mushy food, step by step including more solid food in your menu.
• Cut your harder and tougher food into small pieces. This will make it easier to chew.
• Remove the dentures after each meal and wash them with toothpaste and a brush.
• Once a week, place your dentures in a cup with a cleaning tablet. It removes dirt and odors.
• If you need to remove your dentures, store them in a glass of water.
• Visit your dentist until the moment you dentures stop pressing on your gum and they don't give you sores.
• At least every 5 years, rebase your dentures at a dentist, because the prosthetic field (alveolar ridge, gum) changes.
