The idea that dentures are generally made of some more wear-resistant substance and need not be maintained as if they were real teeth is wrong. Any denture, no matter how well made, is a foreign body to the oral tissues, and therefore, it can easily lead to food residue in the mouth, which also facilitates the adhesion of bacteria and the formation of plaque. So, how to properly maintain the movable dentures? Some people think that the maintenance of movable dentures is also to eat after the timely water rinse can be. I do not know that this can only rinse off the surface of the denture adhering to the food residue, but the bacteria and plaque attached to the denture can not be completely removed, if you wear this denture for a long time, it is bound to oral health, especially the remaining teeth create a great danger to teeth. The correct cleaning method of movable dentures is as follows: after each meal or eating, you should take off the dentures in time to carefully rinse, and use a small soft brush dipped in toothpaste to gently scrub all sides of the dentures, focusing on the inner surface of the dentures and contact with the remaining teeth, because these parts are the “blind spots” that cause oral diseases. At the same time, the remaining teeth in the mouth should be carefully brushed, especially the adjacent teeth in close contact with the dentures. Cleaned dentures should be soaked in water, sleep does not advocate wearing dentures, which is more conducive to long time to bear the pressure of dentures during the day the oral mucosa to get a good rest, but also to inhibit the growth of a small amount of bacteria and plaque residue on the dentures, thereby reducing its harmful effects on the oral cavity. If the denture and teeth fit poorly resulting in more embedded food, or denture deformation damage, should be repaired or rebuilt to install dentures immediately, never make do with the use. In order to better remove the food residue, bacteria and plaque on the dentures, you can also soak the cleaned dentures in a special chemical solution (such as denture substrate cleaning agent), but the choice of cleaning agent must be carried out under the guidance of a dentist, do not take the initiative, so as not to cause discomfort. For fixed dentures, it is relatively difficult to clean them because they cannot be taken off and cleaned by themselves. It is recommended that such patients strengthen their brushing in the morning and evening and rinse their mouth after meals, preferably after meals as well. Brushing must be done carefully, especially to brush the abutment teeth (teeth of fixed dentures) and adjacent teeth to ensure oral hygiene. In addition to effective maintenance, denture wearers should also pay attention to the fact that if there is any loosening of the adjacent teeth in contact with the dentures, etc., they must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner to avoid serious damage to the soft and hard tissues in the mouth.
