Are you still using dentures like this? Older people's dentures can last longer

Wearing dentures is uncomfortable, can only bear it! Teach your parents the following tricks

I received another private message in the past two days, "The current conditions at home are that my parents can only wear dentures, but they soak their dentures in clean water every time they eat, right? Will there be bacteria when you soak it?"

OK, today I will tell you how to save dentures, and you can pass on the method to your parents.

First, do dentures need to be removed for maintenance?

The answer is yes! Fixed dentures naturally do not need to be removed, but our friends who wear removable dentures must not wear them all day! Some people want to say, but I am always uncomfortable wearing dentures, if I wear them for a longer time, will I adapt faster? Don't make such a misunderstanding. When we say that you need to wear more dentures, we mean that you don't need to wear dentures for three days and two days, but you don't need to wear them 24 hours a day. After all, it is not your own teeth, and it is easy to feel a foreign body in the mouth. Wearing dentures for 24 hours will bring a heavy burden to the gums, causing discomfort to the gums, and even redness and inflammation.

Therefore, friends who wear removable dentures must remove their dentures for maintenance before going to bed at night.

Second, how to maintain movable dentures?

For many elderly friends, let's not talk about maintenance first, let's talk about preservation first.

The preservation of removable dentures is not easy to place anywhere, and it is unscientific to take them off and soak them in water directly.

First of all, dentures cannot be placed in dry places, which may cause deformation and distortion.

Secondly, after the dentures are removed, use a toothbrush dipped in toothpaste to clean the dentures just like brushing your own teeth. You think, just after eating, the dentures are taken off and soaked in water. If the food residues and bacteria attached to the teeth have been unclean, if they are soaked like this, won’t they become more dirty? The next time you put it in your mouth, the cycle repeats, and it will immediately become the base camp of bacteria. So, be sure to brush the removable dentures after taking them off!

After cleaning the fake toothbrush, we can soak it in clean cold water. This is the easiest way to save dentures.

If you want to be more hygienic and achieve the effect of maintenance, we can buy some denture cleaning tablets, soak the cleaning tablets in water, it is the denture cleaning solution, and then soak the dentures in, you can better When it comes to removing stains or plaque that cannot be brushed off dentures, it is more secure to use. Before using dentures, rinse with water again. This will not only keep your dentures cleaner, but also have a fresher breath.

Third, do you need to do some maintenance for your oral cavity?

For friends who can think of this, Dr. Zhu will give a thumbs up. Although our patients with missing teeth rely on dentures to eat, many people think that protecting dentures is enough. Anyway, they don’t have teeth, but you must know that teeth are only part of their mouths, and there are many patients whose gums are getting worse and worse, and they can’t wear dentures. Yes, therefore, our own oral cavity must also be maintained.

After brushing your dentures, you should also rinse your mouth. Before wearing your dentures, you should also rinse your mouth to keep your mouth clean, and then install clean dentures to reduce bacterial growth!

I sincerely hope that you can keep these points of attention for maintaining dentures in your heart, or tell your parents, because chewing force is very important to people, dentures can only reach 30% of normal teeth in the recovery of chewing force. If we don't use our dentures well, it will be even more unpleasant to eat!

Finally, I wish you all a good luck!
