Dr. Greg Moritz offers professional denture cleaning services to keep your dentures in optimal condition. During your regular appointments at Moritz Dental Care, our dentist and team will assess your dentures to ensure they fit and function properly, and will clean them thoroughly. We will also provide guidance on at-home denture care to help you learn the best methods for maintaining your appliance. Proper care is essential for ensuring your dentures continue to fit and function well.
When you receive your dentures, our dentist will provide detailed instructions on how to care for them.
Recommendations For Denture Cleanings:
- Avoid Self-Adjustments: Do not attempt to adjust your dentures on your own. Only dental professionals are qualified to identify problems and make adjustments. Trying to modify them yourself may damage the dentures or your mouth.
- Follow Care Instructions: Adhere to all instructions provided by our dentist regarding how to wear and clean your dentures.
- Daily Brushing: Brush your dentures every day. Make sure to clean all surfaces thoroughly.
- Use Denture Cream: When brushing your dentures, use a denture cleaning cream. Regular toothpaste can be abrasive and may scratch your appliance.
- Rinse with Cold Water: Rinse your dentures in cold water. Avoid hot water and do not put your dentures in the dishwasher, as this can cause warping.
- Regular Inspections: Regularly check your dentures for wear and damage, which can affect their performance.
- Storage: When not wearing your dentures, store them in water or a denture cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out.
We also recommend scheduling regular maintenance appointments with our dentist to ensure your dentures are functioning correctly and to keep your mouth healthy. If you are taking any medications, please inform our dentist, as certain medications can affect your oral health and the fit of your dentures.
If your dentures feel loose or are damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. Loose dentures can cause friction and pressure on your gum and bone tissue, potentially leading to additional damage.
