How to clean dentures prostrate step by step
Maintenance is key for your prosthesis to last for many years in perfect condition and your mouth stays healthy. Cleaning dentures It must be a daily habit:
- Soft brushing: Use a special brush for prosthesis and neutral soap. Avoid conventional toothpastes, as they can be very abrasive and scratch the material.
- Rinse and soak: Immerse it in water or in a specific cleaning solution during the night so that the resin does not dry or deform.
Clean dentures with oxygenated water: Is it recommended?
Many patients ask us if it's good clean dentures with oxygenated water. In ODONTOFAMILY We don't recommend it. As a daily routine. Although disinfected, in the long term it can alter the color of the resin and damage soft materials. It is better to use the effervescent pills of pharmacy.

Sometimes accidents occur: a fall in the sink or bite something very hard can fracture the prosthesis. price of repairing a broken denture is usually economical and the process is fast. Never try to hit it at home. with industrial glues as they are toxic and will ruin the prosthesis forever. Bring it to ODONTOFAMILY and our lab will leave it as new, often on the same day.
Dentures Postive vs. Dental implants: Risks and differences
It is common to doubt between a traditional denture and implants. Although implants are excellent, dental implant surgeries have their recovery times and certain contraindications (lack of bone, clotting problems, etc.).
Sometimes we read cases of worried patients saying: “I have been given a dental implant and it hurts a lot”. Although an initial discomfort is normal, complications exist. Dentures (especially fixed ones without screws or high quality removable ones) completely eliminate the risks of dental implantsoffering an aesthetic solution, fast and without going through the operating room.
