  1. Oral Hygiene with Dentures Dentures are a popular solution for people who have lost their natural teeth due to age, injury, or disease. While dentures can restore your ability to eat and speak, they also require special care to maintain good oral hygiene. Proper care of your dentures can prevent infections, bad breath, and other oral health problems. Here are some tips to help you maintain good oral hygiene with dentures: 1.Clean your dentures daily: Just like natural teeth, dentures need to be cleaned every day to remove food particles and bacteria. Use a soft- bristled brush or denture brush to clean your dentures thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes that can damage your dentures. 2.Rinse your dentures after eating: After eating, remove your dentures and rinse them under running water to remove any food particles or debris. This can prevent staining and bad breath. 3.Soak your dentures overnight: When you're not wearing your dentures, soak them in a denture-cleaning solution or a mixture of water and vinegar. This helps to remove bacteria and prevent doors.

  2. 4.Brush your gums and tongue: Even if you have no natural teeth left, it's important to brush your gums and tongue with a soft-bristled brush or gauze pad to remove bacteria and prevent infections. 5.Visit your dentist regularly. Even with dentures, it's important to see your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. In Your dental clinic examine your dentures for signs of wear or damage and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. 6.Avoid foods that can damage your dentures: Certain foods, such as hard candy or sticky foods, can damage your dentures or cause them to become dislodged. Avoid these foods, and be cautious when eating tough or crunchy foods. 7.Handle your dentures carefully. When removing or inserting your dentures, be careful not to drop them or bend them out of shape. Use a towel or soft surface to cushion your dentures when handling them. In summary, good oral hygiene with dentures requires regular cleaning and care to prevent infections, bad breath, and other oral health problems. By following these tips and seeing your dentist regularly, you can ensure that your dentures last as long as possible and help you maintain a healthy smile.
