How do dentures affect the mouth and supporting tissues?
Dentures are removable acrylic or acrylic-and-metal appliances that collect plaque and food debris on their surfaces and supporting tissues.
What should you do after removing your dentures?
Rinse over water, brush all surfaces and clasps, clean the tongue and gums, and do not adjust the appliance yourself.
When does a denture need checking or adjustment?
Arrange review for sore spots, cracks, looseness, redness, chewing difficulty, or a denture that no longer fits.
What cleaning and wearing routine suits my dentures?
Ask how to clean the materials, whether the fit needs adjustment, and whether overnight wear is appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Can this be managed at home?
Home care may reduce irritation or symptoms, but it cannot diagnose or repair a structural dental problem.
