Dentures<\/a> are made of nonporous materials, so they cannot absorb dark-colored pigments, right? While this may be partly true, they aren\u2019t entirely stain-proof. Over time, your artificial teeth can begin to dull, making you feel less confident about your appearance. As a result, you may be worried that you will never recapture the brighter, whiter smile you once enjoyed. However, there\u2019s good news! With these 4 tips, you can ensure your grin continues to look brand new.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Use a Low- or Non-Abrasive Toothpaste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most toothpaste brands are too harsh on dentures. Their abrasiveness can scratch the material, leaving them lackluster over time. Fortunately, there are multiple options your dentist can recommend that are low- or non-abrasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using these products will prevent your dentures from becoming damaged, keeping them smooth, sleek, and sparkling white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soak Your Dentures Overnight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every night before bed, you need to remove your dentures and soak them in a special cleaner. This is recommended not only to keep them healthier and brighter, but also to protect your gums, jawbone, and oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After supporting your dentures throughout the day, your mouth can regain valuable nutrients and breathe freely throughout the night. Soaking your prosthetics also slows bone atrophy, preventing facial sagging from occurring rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Your Dentist Biannually to Have Your Dentures Checked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Minor fractures, chips, and breaks can occur while wearing dentures, so it\u2019s important to keep your biannual checkups and cleanings with your dentist. During these visits, they will examine your dentures to determine whether damage exists. If so, they will recommend the appropriate solution to repair your artificial teeth and restore your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the while, your dentist will also check your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, and infection, ensuring no bacteria are attacking your soft oral tissues. You can also ask your dentist about having your dentures professionally cleaned to remove any surface stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinse Your Mouth After Consuming Darkly Pigmented Foods & Beverages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you should limit your consumption of dark-colored foods and beverages (soda, coffee, tea, soy sauce, berries, etc.), you don\u2019t necessarily have to avoid them altogether. Instead, when you choose to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, make sure not to sip it for too long and rinse your mouth immediately afterward. This flushes away dark-colored tannins and bacteria that start to cause discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can continue to enjoy the aesthetics of your new dentures by taking the appropriate steps year-round. If you need additional help to lower your risk of damage or discoloration, don\u2019t hesitate to ask your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
