Adjusting to dentures can be quite a challenge.
You may experience tender or swollen gums. This
is normal at the beginning as your mouth gets
used to the dentures. However, if the problem
persists, visit us to make sure that your new
dentures are fitting properly. Though dentures
are a permanent solution to tooth loss, over
time, your mouth may shift and change, requiring
adjustments or repairs to be made to your
dentures. Dr. Gilbert will help you to deal with
any adjustment and replacement issues. Although
dentures are made from a synthetic material, they
still must be cared for just like natural teeth.
Dr. Gilbert can recommend a good denture cleaner
as well as an overnight soaking solution to keep
your dentures moist.

Each morning, brush your gums as well as your
tongue and the roof of your mouth before you put
your dentures back in for the day. Use a
soft-bristled brush to gently stimulate blood
circulation. Keep your dentures clean and free
of plaque through daily soaking and be sure to
visit us for regular checkups and cleanings. You
should not use a tooth brush on the denture
surface eliminating scratching of the acrylic and
potential staining and plaque and tartar buildup.
 He will offer you tips and suggestions for
proper denture care.
