A complete denture is often an effective method for replacing the basic function of your missing or compromised teeth. They are created in a special dental lab to fit firmly with the natural structure of your periodontal tissues.
Yet many denture wearers like to apply a little denture adhesive to the base of the dental appliance. Not only will this help to lock the denture in place, it will also create a temporary seal to help prevent irritation from food particles that invade the base near the gums.
As the day goes on it’s possible for the denture adhesive bond to weaken a little. This might allow a little bit of food material does work its way onto the base of your denture you should rinse it away. After drying the dental appliance with a clean paper towel, you can then apply fresh adhesive.
Before going to bed each night, you’ll need to take your denture out to give it a complete cleaning. This involves a vigorous rinse under running water and light brushing with nonabrasive toothpaste. Once it is clean you should soak your dentures in water before storing it someplace safe.
When you are shopping for denture adhesive, you want to look for the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance. This seal means that the ADA has subjected the product to significant research and testing to make sure it meets rigorous guidelines for safe oral use.
