Here are some helpful tips to follow to help you adjust.

You should treat your dentures just like your natural teeth and brush them daily with a soft bristled brush. It’s also recommended that you frequently rinse your denture under running water to prevent debris build up. To prevent accidental damage, make sure to place a towel in the sink to provide a cushion for the denture in case you drop it. Always soak your denture in water or a denture cleaner to keep it moist when you are not wearing it.
Even with proper oral hygiene routines, it is still recommended that you replace your denture every 5 to 7 years, and reline them every 2 years. If your are experiencing continuous gum bleeding, swelling in the gums and eyes, sore throat, difficulty in swallowing, and sores in the mouth, visit a dentist immediately as they may be signs of serious gum disease and will require immediate treatment.

Even though you can brush your dentures while it’s in your mouth, it’s best to remove your dentures so you can thoroughly clean all surfaces.
It’s preferred for dentures to be removed at night to give your gums a chance to relax. Make sure to always soaks your dentures in water or denture solution to keep them moist when you’re not wearing them.
Just like natural teeth, dentures should be cleaned daily to prevent plaque build up. It’s also recommended to rinse your dentures after eating for easy cleaning.
As a general rule, it’s recommended that you replace dentures every 5 to 7 years. Every day wear and tear will require replacements, and your gums can also shrink over time which can cause discomfort. Relining is recommended every 2 years to ensure proper fit and comfort.
