What does this question mean?
Removable dentures are acrylic or metal appliances replacing missing teeth. Remove them to clean both surfaces and your gums, tongue, palate and remaining teeth.
What can you do next?
Rinse after meals, brush over a basin or towel, and avoid hot water because it can distort acrylic. Use soaking products exactly as directed.
When should you seek dental care?
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.
What should you ask the dentist?
Seek care for sore spots, slipping, cracks, persistent odour or red tissue. A dentist can adjust the fit and check for infection.
