Proper **denture care** is essential for maintaining their durability and your oral health.
**Clean daily** – Brush your dentures with a soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove plaque and stains.
**Soak overnight** – Keep dentures in water or a denture solution to maintain their shape.
**Rinse after eating** – Wash your dentures under running water to remove food particles.
**Handle with care** – Avoid dropping them, as they can break easily.
**Brush your gums and tongue** – This helps prevent irritation and infections.
**Avoid harsh chemicals** – Do not use bleach or regular toothpaste, as they can damage dentures.
**Visit your dentist regularly** – Get checkups to ensure a proper fit and prevent gum irritation.
With proper care, your dentures will stay comfortable and last longer!
