Considerations for Brushing Your Dentures

Our general recommendation is always for our patients to use soft bristle tooth brushes, and use the recommended paste. This is especially important for individuals with dentures. When brushing always try and cover all areas of your dentures, after every meal. Always try and brush between your teeth and gently brush your gums and frequently rinse your mouth. In addition, we suggest our patients stimulate the circulation of your gums by massaging your gum tissue with your dentist recommended tooth brush. By following these simple procedures, you will greatly improve the oral health of your mouth by removing damaging bacteria from your mouth.

Additional Considerations as You Become Accustomed to Your New Dentures

When chewing your foods, always begin with soft foods that can easily be chewed and cut into small pieces. Eating will take some time and practice, as you should chew using both sides of your mouth. You quickly will be able to add a bigger variety of the foods you enjoy and return to your accustomed diet. Always be careful with hard foods, especially during the acclimation process.

Do not be concerned if pronouncing some words requires practice. At times your dentures could slip when you cough, laugh or even smile. Always try and re-position them be slowly swallowing as you bite down on your dentures. Always consult our dental office if speaking problems persists. As with any dental treatment, thorough dental exams are recommended. It is important to ensure the tissues that support your dentures are healthy.
