Dentures to Smile About

by Denture Made in Tamworth

Celebrate National Smile Month with a healthy smile this 12th May – 12th June. Now is the perfect time to focus on oral health—and for denture wearers, proper care is essential for maintaining a confident, healthy smile. While natural teeth require daily attention, dentures need just as much care to stay clean, comfortable, and functional.  

National Smile Month, led by the Oral Health Foundation, raises awareness about oral health inequalities. By taking care of your dentures, you’re not only preserving your smile but also supporting a campaign that helps others access essential dental care.  

Essential Denture Care Tips 

1. Daily Cleaning: Gently brush your dentures every day using a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove plaque and food particles. Avoid regular toothpaste, which can scratch the surface.  

2. Overnight Soaking: Keep your dentures moist by soaking them in a mild denture solution or clean water overnight. This helps maintain their shape and hygiene.  

3. Oral Hygiene: Even with dentures, it's important to clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth with a soft brush to prevent irritation and infections.  

4. Handle with Care: Dentures are delicate! Always rinse them over a folded towel or a basin of water to avoid damage if dropped.  

5. Professional Cleaning: Investing in professional cleaning of your dentures will improve their life-span and give your smile that extra sparkle.

6. Regular Check-ups: Visit your dentist at least once a year to ensure your dentures fit properly and to address any issues like discomfort or bone loss.  

Struggling with Ill-Fitting Dentures?

Poorly fitting dentures can cause discomfort, difficulty eating, and even affect your confidence. Ill-fitting dentures can cause painful gum sores, difficulty chewing, and speech problems. They may slip or click embarrassingly, affecting confidence. Poor fit can lead to bone loss, mouth infections, and digestive issues from improper chewing. Regular dental check-ups ensure proper fit and prevent these complications for comfortable, healthy denture wear.
