Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth set into a framework which rests on the gums. They are used to replace either a full or partial set of missing teeth. Partial dentures also known as a removable denture is when one or more false teeth are held together with a clasp that fits onto nearby healthy teeth. Complete dentures are used to replace all natural teeth that have been lost. Dentures play an important role in maintenance of dental health.
Due to changes of the mouth dentures will need to be checked and re-fitted periodically.
Denture Care
-
Take your dentures out every night and brush your teeth and gums carefully with a soft toothbrush. If your toothbrush hurts you, try running your brush under warm water or use a finger wrapped in a clean, damp cloth.
-
Clean your dentures daily as plaque can build up on false teeth.
-
Soak your dentures in denture cleaner or warm water.
