What does this question mean?
Dentures are commonly acrylic resin with artificial teeth and may include metal. Tea, coffee, tobacco, food pigments, plaque, and calculus can discolour them.
What can you do next?
Rinse and brush the denture with a denture brush and cleanser, soak as directed, and rinse before wearing it. Avoid hot water because heat can distort acrylic.
When should you seek dental care?
Request professional cleaning when deposits remain, the smell or fit changes, or mouth sores persist after removing the appliance.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask what structure is affected, which examination is needed, and which treatment or product fits your teeth, gums, appliance, and medical history.
