What materials are commonly used for false teeth?
Removable dentures are acrylic or metal appliances replacing missing teeth. Remove them to clean both surfaces and your gums, tongue, palate and remaining teeth.
How can you rinse and brush false teeth safely?
Rinse after meals, brush over a basin or towel, and avoid hot water because it can distort acrylic. Use soaking products exactly as directed.
What signs mean false teeth need dental attention?
Use a soft denture brush and keep the appliance moist when stored if its material instructions require it. Never use abrasive whitening toothpaste on acrylic.
Which care routine is safest for my false teeth?
Seek care for sore spots, slipping, cracks, persistent odour or red tissue. A dentist can adjust the fit and check for infection.
