Dentures need special attention and same goes with your oral health. According to the American Dental Association, the following are some of the basic oral care procedures to ensure your dentures are in perfect condition and your gums are in the pink of health.
* Make sure that you brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning before you insert your dentures. This stimulates circulation in your gums.
* Dentures are delicate and fragile. Try not to drop it when you’re not wearing them.
* Brush your dentures regularly. This will prevent the occurrence of stains and plaque. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your dentures.
* Some denture wearers use mild hand soap or dish-washing liquid to clean their dentures. These are acceptable alternatives to regular dentures cleaning agents. Avoid using powdered cleansers and bleach as these are too abrasive on dentures.
* Do not let the dentures dry out when you’re not wearing them. It may lose its shape as a result. Soak it in a dental cleanser solution or water instead.
Regular dental check-ups are also important. Your dentist needs to examine your dentures to see if they fit properly and if the dentures need to be relined, rebased or replaced due to normal wear. Loose and ill-fitting dentures breed infections and mouth sores. So the minute you feel discomfort in your dentures, visit your dentist immediately. For more information about dentures and partials, consult with our Fort Lauderdale dentist for details.
The loss of a tooth or multiple teeth can be a devastating occurrence and has the potential to create a significant impact on the well-being of your mouth and subsequent overall health. Restricted ability to perform natural functions, a weakened jawbone, permanent damage to remaining teeth and an aesthetically lacking smile, are just a few of the changes which may occur after tooth loss.
An effective and popular solution to this problem can be found in the use of dentures – either in full or partial format.
A full denture is placed in the mouth after any remaining teeth have been removed and tissues have healed. Healing can take several months, during which time you are without teeth. The complete full denture replaces all the teeth in the mouth.
An immediate full denture is inserted immediately after the remaining teeth have been removed or all teeth lost, allowing the surrounding area of gum and tissue to heal whilst the denture is in place.
After tissue and gums have healed, the denture may need to be reshaped or relined as it becomes loose during the healing process.
Partial Dentures fill in the spaces where there are missing teeth and prevent other teeth from changing position. Partial Dentures rest on a metal framework that is attached to your natural remaining teeth. Crowns can sometimes be placed on some of you natural teeth and serve as anchors for the denture. Partial Dentures offer a removable alternative to bridges.
A new denture will not last forever as the mouth and face change shape and the denture will either have to be replaced or realigned.
There are different types of dentures depending on the individual need and variations on the structure are made in accordance to your specific requirements.
