Denture Care Tips!
- It is important to treat your dentures like you would your natural teeth – clean them thoroughly last thing at night and at least one other time during the day, and after eating if needed.
- It is best not to use toothpaste when cleaning your dentures, as some types can damage them.
- Ideally, use a soft-bristle denture brush, designed specifically for cleaning dentures, and use water to brush all surfaces. Be careful not to brush too hard or dislodge any attachments.
- When you're not wearing your dentures, soak them in cool water or a denture cleaning solution to keep them from drying out. Some cleaning solutions can cause metal to tarnish, so exercise caution.
- Do not soak your dentures in hot water – always use cool water.
- At night, remove your dentures (full or partial) to allow the underlying gum tissue to rest.
It’s important to see the dentist every six months to check the condition and fit of your dentures and to look for any signs of irritation or gum disease so that any issues can be treated immediately.

I had been suffering with pain for a few weeks from my wisdom tooth. But unable to get into my usual dental surgery for over a month.
Found an appointment for same day. And due to being anxious about dentist I was worried about going.

During the consultant the dentist and staff made me felt at ease. Went through each step and then went through treatment options. Needed to have the tooth removed. The nurse and dentist were amazing. Comforted me and also allowed to have my mum in the room with me. They went through the procedure with my and then my after care afterwards. I would definitely recommend to anywho is nervous about going to the dentist like me.

We had a dental home visit for my invalid partner who needed the root of a broken tooth removed. Given her age and condition, I was very anxious. In fact, everything went completely smoothly. The dentist (& team) were good listeners, gave good clear answers with time to think. I said at the time how reassuring they had been from the very start - the risks were explained but in perspective. My partner was quite calm and cooperative - I had been worried that she might suffer from shock but she has been fine. Phew! What a relief!
