new-to-dentures,-things-you'll-need!
Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, and are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable. However, there are many denture designs and accessories, some which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants.
So in today's video I'll cover the things you'll need Before and after Extraction Day.
New to Dentures, Things You'll Need!
___________________________________
1. Salt: After Extractions.
Start rinsing your mouth with a warm salt-water rinse (1/2 tsp. salt with 1 cup water) every 2-3 hours. Continue this for several days, then rinse 3-4 times a day for the next 2 weeks. You may start normal tooth brushing the day after the surgery or after bleeding is controlled.
2. Denture Sterile Tablets.
Denture Cleansing Tablets are specially formulated to dissolve quickly and remove stubborn stains caused by tobacco and food. With antibacterial action, they also help to fight plaque and tartar build up, leaving dentures clean, fresh and free from odour.
3. Denture Toothbrush Soft Toothbrushas.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush on natural teeth and gauze or a soft toothbrush to clean your tongue, cheeks and roof of your mouth (palate). If used, remove any remaining denture adhesive from your gums. Brush your dentures at least daily. Remove & gently clean your dentures daily.
4. Denture Adhesive Or Powders.
Denture adhesives are pastes, powders or adhesive pads that may be placed in/on dentures to help them stay in place. Sometimes denture adhesives contain zinc to enhance adhesion. In most cases, properly fitted and maintained dentures should not require the use of denture adhesives.
5. Denture Container / Containers
Closed container prevents dust and insects from contaminating your dentures and provides you with a more hygienic way to store your dentures. Internal rinsing basket makes it easier for you to remove your dentures cleanly from the used denture cleansing liquid. Made of strong plastic for a more durable container.

How to clean dentures
Regardless of what kind of dentures you may have, all dentures need to be cleaned daily, just like regular teeth. Even though dentures are made up of artificial teeth, bacteria, plaque, and tartar still build up on them and can harm existing teeth and gums.
To clean your dentures, take them out of your mouth and run clean water over them to dislodge any food particles that may be stuck between teeth, along the gum line, or underneath the structure. Then brush the dentures all over with a denture brush or very soft toothbrush using a mild soap or denture cleaner. Be sure not to use any other cleaners, regular toothpaste, or electric toothbrushes as these are all too abrasive and can damage and wear away the denture materials. After cleaning, make sure to rinse them well.
While your dentures are out of your mouth, be sure to clean your gums and any natural teeth with a very soft and wet toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste if needed. If your toothbrush is too harsh, wrap your finger in a wet, soft washcloth and gently rub your gums, making sure to cover all surfaces.
Preserving your dentures
Always remove your dentures before sleeping to avoid damaging them, dislodging them, and to give your gums some time to relax. Submerge your dentures fully in warm, but not hot, water to keep them from drying out and becoming misshapen. Only use denture soaking solution if your dentures do not have metal components as the solution can tarnish the metal
More questions?
If you still aren’t sure whether or not dentures are right for you or if you have other questions or concerns, talk to your dentist at your next regular dental checkup to discuss the right path for you. If you are looking for a dental professional who specializes in dentures and can best address your specific needs.
And remember, anyone could end up needing dentures! Hockey players, victims of automobile accidents, or people with genetic disorders may require an oral prosthetic of some sort, so the notion that it’s only for senior citizens is no longer accurate. If you or someone you know might need them, regardless of your age, don’t hesitate to inquire to a dentist.
Any other questions please comment below as I believe I've covered most things, many thanks
