A Comprehensive Guide to Caring for Your Dentures

Summary

Cleaning and storing your dentures properly is important for a variety of reasons. Cleaning your dentures is important for inhibiting bacteria growth in your mouth. The bacteria in your mouth feeds on the food that gets stuck between your teeth, creating tartar and plaque. Tartar and plaque can cause your remaining teeth to decay as well as increase your likelihood of developing gum disease. It is also recommended that you remove your dentures for between 1 and 5 hours each day to allow the soft tissues in your mouth time to breath. Removing your dentures while you sleep allows the tissues time to breath and soaking them overnight in a proper cleaning solution inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria.
