You might think caring for your dentures is the same as caring for natural teeth, but then you&#8217;d also be wrong. Cleaning your new set of pearly whites is critical for good oral health, just like natural tooth care, but it&#8217;s not as simple as toothpaste, or even soap and water. So let&#8217;s take a look at how to make cleaning dentures a part of your daily dental cleaning routine. <\/p>    <h2 id=\"types-of-dentures\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of dentures<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"different types of dentures (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/restorative-dentistry\/\" target=\"_blank\">different types of dentures<\/a>, and it is important to know which type you&#8217;ve got because the cleaning method can change depending. <\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Traditional complete full dentures<\/strong>: Restorative dentistry procedure that completely replaces all of the teeth and sit atop the gums. They are removable and use a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"denture adhesive (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/dentures-false-teeth\/best-denture-adhesive\/\" target=\"_blank\">denture adhesive<\/a> to stay in place. <\/li>    <li><strong>Partial dentures<\/strong>: Used when the patient has one or more natural teeth in the upper and lower jaw. A gum-colored base is secured with metal attachments to the jaw. They are removable and help the other teeth from shifting around. <\/li>    <li><strong>Implant-supported dentures:<\/strong> A <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/teeth-implants-cost\/#\" target=\"_blank\">dental implant<\/a> is set to secure the denture to the jaw. It provides a solid foundation but is not removable. <\/li>    <li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Snap-in dentures (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/dentures-false-teeth\/snap-in-dentures\/\" target=\"_blank\">Snap-in dentures<\/a>:<\/strong> These are similar to implant-supported dentures. They are attached to implants drilled into the jaw bone. What makes them unique are attachments on the tissue side of the denture which snap onto the implants, thus making them removable and convenient. <\/li>    <li><strong>Overdentures: <\/strong>Similar to snap-in, these sit atop the gum and attach to implants; they can be made to be removable. <\/li>    <li><strong>Economy dentures:<\/strong> These are generic devices that are not made to fit your mouth specifically. They sit atop the gums and are attached with an adhesive; they are generally very uncomfortable. <\/li>    <li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/dentures-false-teeth\/flexible-dentures\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flexible dentures<\/a>:<\/strong> Unlike all the other dentures, these are made from a flexible material such as nylon. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/dentures-false-teeth\/flexible-dentures\/valplast\/\" target=\"_blank\">Valplast<\/a> is one particular brand.

Obviously, you cannot clean your dentures by soaking them in a cup overnight or remove them to brush the gums underneath. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to get a good water flosser to remove debris in between the device and the gums.

When using non-abrasive cleaning agents and gentle techniques, your device will never need replacement or repair. Denture cleaning ensures the health of your gums and the integrity of your device. Using regular toothpaste that is too abrasive will damage the device and using cleaners that are too harsh can be dangerous to your health. Make sure you don&#8217;t use cleaning agents with bleach or other whiteners as these are also harmful to health and erode the materials of the set.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with proper care, dentures won&#8217;t last forever, and you&#8217;ll probably need to get a reline a few years down the road to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/dentures-false-teeth\/how-to-fit-better\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"64090\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make your dentures fit better<\/a>.
