After dentures are true and false, they are all teeth. They should be treated equally, and they should be cared for in the correct way.
First, let’s talk about how to treat the remaining real teeth. If you have removable dentures, first remove the dentures, and then use tools such as toothbrushes, floss, toothpicks, and toothpaste, tooth powder and other cleaning agents to clean them. The method is the same as that of ordinary people. Only a few remaining real teeth are used, and more attention should be paid to the health maintenance of the remaining real teeth. Because the remaining real teeth are essential for the stability and function of the dentures. Those with fixed dentures should pay special attention to the hygiene of the abutments (the real teeth that support the dentures), especially the edge position of the dentures, and focus on cleaning.
Next is the cleaning of the dentures. There are two types of methods for cleaning dentures: mechanical methods and chemical methods. Mechanical methods include brushing with toothbrush, toothpaste and tooth powder, or ultrasonic cleaning. Chemical methods include detergents, disinfectants and enzyme products for various commodities.
Patients with removable dentures can take off their dentures for cleaning, and clean them after each meal, and do not sleep with their dentures on. Before going to bed at night, you should take off your dentures and then brush your teeth, wash your dentures, soak them in cold water, do not soak them in hot water, and do not scrub with alcohol. Soaking in hot water can deform your dentures, and scrubbing with alcohol can crack your dentures . Note that when taking teeth, applying teeth and brushing teeth, do not use too much force to avoid the fracture and deformation of the denture clasp. And brushing dentures can not use a hard brush to avoid damage to the surface structure. Dentures can be disinfected with disinfectant. For example, the original solution of “Woodpecker Disinfectant Generator” can be diluted by 1:30 and then put the dentures in the intrusion foam or mouthwash, which can eliminate the tartar accumulated on the interdental and tooth surfaces, reduce the adhesion of plaque, and make the teeth white, which is conducive to maintaining Oral hygiene and maintaining the aesthetics of dentures, especially the front teeth, will be more realistic. At the same time, it can clean and disinfect the oral cavity, and even has a certain preventive effect on chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis or other infectious oral inflammation, killing three birds with one stone.
The hygienic maintenance of fixed dentures is relatively simple. Cleaning tools such as toothbrushes, dental floss and toothpicks are mainly used to remove impurities on the surface and edges of dentures and reduce plaque adhesion. Dentures made of polymer materials or porcelain should not chew hard or sticky food, so as not to damage or fall off.
In addition, after wearing dentures properly, most people think that there is no problem and can wear them for a long time. This idea is wrong, because after a long time, not only some changes will occur in the oral tissue, but also dentures will have problems, and these problems , Because the patient has adapted to the dentures, but once they feel uncomfortable, the problem may be more serious, which will affect the health of the real teeth in the mouth or the effect of re-installation. Therefore, after wearing dentures, you should go to the hospital regularly for review. Generally speaking, it should be checked once every six months to one year to ensure the use effect of dentures and the health of oral tissues.
When the full dentures are first put on, there will be some discomfort: about one to two months of adaptation. When chewing food, it should be gradually adapted from soft to hard, slow to fast, and from less to more.
Teeth are an important organ of the human body. A neat and white set of teeth is an indispensable part of a beautiful appearance and a dignified appearance. As long as the teeth play their role, they are beautiful and practical, why should they care whether they are real teeth or dentures? Of course, from a functional and emotional point of view, it is still really good!
