Cuidado de prótesis

A tooth brush in front of denturesAdvice and tips on caring for your dentures

  • Only your dental professional is qualified to diagnose your salud bucal and adjust your dentadura o partial.
  • Prótesis dentales should be brushed inside and outside daily with a soft, large nylon denture tooth brush with round-ended bristles.
  • Use denture creams instead of toothpastes, which are too abrasive and will scratch your denture. Rinse with cold water.
  • Prótesis dentales warp if placed in hot water.
  • Inspect your dentadura regularly for worn teeth.
  • Worn and stained dentadura postiza can make you look older and cause your dentadura postiza to function poorly.
  • Discuss all your current medications with your doctor and dental professional.
  • Be sure to visit your dental professional regularly.
  • Have loose dentadura postiza checked immediately as they can cause friction and pressure on the gum tissues and bones.
  • When not in use, cover dentadura postiza with water or a denture-cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out.
  • Most dental insurance policies provide coverage for new dentadura postiza cada 5 años.
