Prosthesis Cleaning

If the food that accumulate on the surface of the denture after eating are not cleaned regularly, they may harden under the influence of saliva and stick to the denture surface. Therefore, removable dentures should be cleaned after each meal, as recommended by the dentists. 

Use of cleaning products such as bleach or detergent may corrode the surface of the denture and negatively affect the polish of the denture. Instead, anti-bacterial care tablets produced specifically for dentures should be used as recommended by the manufacturer. Additionally, dentures can be cleaned twice a day with cleaning gel and a special denture cleaning brush.  

To prevent your denture from falling and breaking while brushing, the denture should be kept in a towel or in a denture container. To reduce the risk of fungal infection in the mouth, dentures should not be worn at night and should be preserved in water. By following those recommendations and under the supervision of your dentist, you can use your dentures for a long time without any problems.
