Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid hot water, bleach, and abrasive toothpaste, which can warp or scratch dentures. Never let dentures dry out completely.
Eating Out and Social Life With Dentures
With practice, most denture wearers eat out comfortably. Cut food into smaller pieces, chew on both sides, and be cautious with very sticky or hard foods. Keep a small travel kit with a case and brush for when you are away from home.
Protecting Your Gums and Mouth
Taking dentures out at night gives your gums time to rest and helps prevent irritation and fungal infections. Watch for redness, sores, or white patches, and let us know if they do not improve.
Storing Your Dentures
Keep dentures in a labeled case, away from pets and small children. Many dentures are damaged when they are wrapped in a tissue and thrown away by mistake.

Dentures and Your Diet
A balanced diet helps keep your gums healthy. If chewing certain foods is hard, try cooking vegetables until tender, choosing ground or flaked proteins, and cutting fruit into small pieces rather than skipping it.
