Must I do anything special to care for my mouth?

Whether you are wearing Complete Dentures or Partial Dentures, you need to take good care of your mouth. Every morning, you should brush your gums, tongue and palate with a soft-bristled brush and toothpaste before you insert your Dentures. This will stimulate the circulation in your mouth. It is also important to eat a balanced diet as nutrition is also important for maintaining a healthy mouth.

Many Denture Wearers suffer from a dry mouth but this is often more to do with age and medication than the Dentures themselves. Consult your Dentist, Doctor or Clinical Dental Technician for advice and for information on saliva substitutes.
