Most people do not realize they need dentures, but the reality is, almost a quarter of Canadians are either partial or complete dentures at some point in their lives, new research by Leger Marketing need to show that many baby boomers care in ignorance of the prosthesis. According to the survey, one of four Canadians mistakenly believe that baby boomers best way to clean your dentures with toothpaste, brush, and almost one third of respondents mistakenly believe that the work of specialty toothpaste and clean dentures clean dentures. To clarify some of these questions we have asked a dentist Dr. Carol Waldman, for some answers. Q. Can I use my prosthesis the same way, I cleaned my real teeth? A. In short, the dentures are not the teeth. Although the teeth have a protective enamel, porcelain or acrylic teeth that are both porous materials produced. Caring for dentures must be different from the care of teeth. We have our lives

the habit, brushing teeth with toothpaste in the morning and evening, but it is now time to learn new habits with your new pearly whites. Toothpaste, which is ideal for teeth is not recommended for prostheses. Toothpaste contains abrasives that can damage dentures enter through the creation of micro-scratches that bacteria can use a place to live and multiply quickly.

Your best bet is to soak the dentures in a denture cleanser such as Polident specialty. The effervescent tablets kill the bacteria that cause odors, leave your dentures feeling fresh, and are safe on dentures. Soaking also reduce bad breath. But it is not important on “Law forgotten” brush: brushing teeth with dentures immersed soft toothbrush in the cleaning solution allows you to remove tougher stains. I also recommend my patient to remove dentures and enjoy during the night in a specialty such as Polident solution overnight denture cleansers. Not only the prosthesis to be cleaned more, but the gum is a chance to breathe and recover from the Bears today. Healthy gums will not only lead to a healthy mouth and denture fit better, they also play a role in overall health. For more information, contact your dentist or denturist.
