Like your natural teeth, your dentures should be brushed daily to remove food particles and plaque. Brushing also can help keep the teeth from staining.
Rinse your dentures before brushing to remove any loose food or debris.
- Use a soft bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser to gently brush all the surfaces of the dentures so they don't get scratched.
- When brushing, clean your mouth thoroughly—including your gums, cheeks, roof of your mouth and tongue to remove any plaque. This can help reduce the risk of oral irritation and bad breath.
- When you’re not wearing your dentures, put them in a safe place covered in water to keep them from warping.
- Occasionally, denture wearers may use adhesives. Adhesives come in many forms: creams, powders, pads/wafers, strips or liquids. If you use one of these products, read the instructions, and use them exactly as directed. Your dentist can recommend appropriate cleansers and adhesives; look for products with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Products with the ADA Seal have been evaluated for safety and effectiveness.

Are root canals really painful?
In some tooth extractions, particularly wisdom teeth, a small piece of the root (called a root tip or fragment) may break off. While this can sound alarming, it’s not always dangerous. When is it OK to leave a root tip? Small (2mm) , uninfected tips near sensitive areas (like nerves or sinuses) may be intentionally left in place if removal poses more risk than benefit. When should it be removed? If the root is large, infected, or causing pain or swelling , it should be extracted by a dentist or oral surgeon. Leftover root fragments can lead to infection, pain, or delayed healing if not properly managed. What to do if you’re unsure: Ask your dentist for post-op X-rays. Seek a second opinion if you have ongoing discomfort or weren't informed about a retained root.
A root tip should not be left behind if: It is infected or shows signs of decay It causes ongoing pain , swelling, or delayed healing It could interfere with future dental treatments, such as Orthodontics or dental implants
