Denture Care
Denture Care
If you have damaged or missing teeth, dentures can help to improve your smile and allow you to enjoy foods that you otherwise may be unable to eat. Like natural teeth, dentures require regular care to remain attractive and in good condition. CVS can help you maintain your dentures in the way that your dentist recommends with a huge selection of denture care products like denture cleanser, denture glue, denture repair kits, and more from top brands like Polident and Efferdent.
Denture Cleaning
Daily cleaning is important to keep your dentures in good condition. Most experts recommend removing dentures twice daily and rinsing to remove food debris. Then, it is important to brush them with a toothbrush and toothpaste, using the same technique that you use to brush natural teeth. Occasionally, you can deep clean your dentures with specialty products to fight germs and address stains. Most denture cleansers come in tablet form. You simply drop the tablets into water and then place your dentures inside. Depending on the product, your dentures may need to soak for a few minutes or overnight.
Denture Fit
When your dentures don't fit properly, everything from chewing to your speech to your appearance can be affected. Fortunately, you can take steps to better secure your dentures with adhesive denture cream. Denture adhesive creates a seal that helps to hold dentures in place. There are many different types available and CVS offers some of the best denture adhesive. Creams are the most commonly used because they are economical and easy to apply, using a tube similar to toothpaste. Some people prefer spray-on powders or strips or wafers because they do not create ooze.
Denture Repair Kit
Even if you care for your dentures properly, damage can happen due to foods that you eat, falls, blows to the mouth and other accidents. When your dentures become damaged, it is important to make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible to have your dentures repaired. While you are waiting to see your dentist, you can use a denture repair kit to temporarily fix your dentures, so that you can continue to wear them in the meantime.
How To Care For Dentures
Talk to your dentist about how to best care for your dentures. He or she can recommend products for you and explain the best methods for care. To get the most out of your denture care products, read the directions for use carefully and always follow them closely unless your dentist gives you other instructions.
