6 ISSUES TO AVOID WHEN WEARING DENTURES

• When you have lost several your natural teeth
  your Integrity Dentist may recommend Dentures.
  Sometimes dentures can be a little uncomfortable
  to get used to wearing and can take some effort.
  Keeping your mouth healthy and practicing good
  tooth brushing techniques with your dentures will
  help you wear your dentures longer and help to
  avoid some simple mistakes that come with wearing
  dentures.

DONT RUSH THE FIT.

• Integrity Dental will take some measurements and
  provide you with a brace that will be able to fit
  your mouth for the mould. Once you have made
  progressed with the fitting process its
  important to follow the hygiene guidelines. This
  can mean taking good care of your dentures daily
  while brushing properly and understanding the
  importance of having proper dental checkups and
  cleanings regularly.
• Your dentures may feel loose, and your jaw and
  gums feel tender, but this should ease in time.
  Do not rush the fitting process either, keep
  going back and getting adjustments until they
  feel comfortable.

DONT STOP BRUSHING.

• Good tooth brushing techniques are essential even
  with dentures. Dentures are not a sign to stop
  brushing. Integrity Dental is a recommended
  dental clinic in Australia that not only cares
  for their patients but also cares about you
  having healthy teeth and gums. Dentures are your
  new set of teeth, and you must care for them the
  same way you would have cared for your original
  set of teeth.
• Integrity Dental recommends you brush your
  tongue, gums and any remaining teeth you may have
  every morning, night and after every meal, if
  necessary. Using a soft brush and fluoride
  toothpaste, brush regularly as his will keep your
  mouth healthy and additionally reduce the bad
  breath that comes with eating certain foods and
  irritation from your dentures.

5
DO NOT BRUSH YOUR DENTURES HARD.

• It is recommended that you brush your dentures
  the same way you would have brushed your original
  set of teeth. Rinse them well before brushing to
  remove any residue from foods. Using your soft
  bristle toothbrush and a non abrasive toothpaste
  gently brush them. You need to be aware that
  dentures are softer than teeth and can scratch
  easily if you brush too hard. Integrity Dentists
  are one of the most affordable dentists that care
  for their patients. If you are not sure in what
  to use to clean your dentures ask your dentist,
  they can recommend a cleaning paste that the
  whole denture can be cleaned with. If you choose
  to wear an adhesive and it sticks to your
  dentures brush the denture gently using soap and
  water and this should remove it.

6
DO NOT LET YOUR DENTURES DRY OUT OR FALL.

• When you prepare to clean your set of dentures,
  fill your bathroom sink beforehand or line it
  with a folded towel. Dropping a wet, slippery
  denture on the floor or in the sink can crack
  them and this can be a costly accident.
• When removing your dentures at night, never leave
  them to dry out on the bedside table, as a dry
  denture can warp. You can safely put your
  dentures into a small container and completely
  cover them in water, so they do not dry out.
  Additionally, you can ask your dentist if you
  should soak them in a cleaning solution overnight
  and rinse this off the following morning.

7
DONT STAIN YOUR DENTURES.

• Your set of dentures can stain the same way as
  your original set of teeth. Regular cleaning will
  assist in keeping them their original set of
  colours, and you can also assist staining not
  occurring by avoiding foods that can expose their
  colours onto teeth. Be careful to avoid harming
  your dentures.
• The integrity of your dentures can be ruined in
  various ways, for this reason it is important to
  follow the health and hygiene guidelines
  thoroughly. This is a very simple tip for wearing
  your dentures but one that Integrity Dental
  recommends you follow as drinking red wine, tea
  and coffee can stain your dentures and cleaning
  them after drinking any of these is essential to
  keep the colour in its original state.

8

• NEVER use bleach, while this is a cleaning agent
  its one you can never use on your dentures even
  if they have the worst stains ever. It is
  strongly recommended to contact Integrity Dental
  for advice on how to best clean them to get them
  white again should you not be able to remove some
  stubborn stains.

9
DONT STOP REGULAR DENTAL VISITS.

• There are many reasons to keep seeing your
  dentist regularly. Your mouth still requires
  regular check-ups to ensure your tooth brushing
  techniques are going well. This is also the best
  way that your dentist can check to see if your
  dentures need to have an adjustment made. Over
  time, your jaw and gums may shrink, and your
  dentures may need to be readjusted. Your dentist
  can also recommend which foods are good for your
  mouth and also assess if you should change the
  type of adhesive you use to hold your dentures in
  place. They can recommend a new adhesive paste
  that is better suited for your mouth and new sets
  of dentures.

• Your dentist will also check for any cavities,
  gum disease or other problems, which will enable
  you to go home with the smile that you have
  always wanted.
• Integrity Dental are one of the most affordable
  dentists that care for their patients and listen
  to your questions. If you are unsure on your
  dental care and whether you need a set of
  dentures make an appointment to speak to one of
  our dental technicians who will check your teeth
  and give you an honest opinion of your options.
