  Post-Care Instructions

  1. Wear Your Dentures as Directed

  • Keep them in place for the first 24 hours unless advised otherwise

  • This helps your mouth adjust and prevents excessive swelling

  2. Eating & Drinking

  • Start with soft foods like dal rice, upma, curd, and mashed potatoes

  • Cut food into small pieces and chew slowly

  • Avoid sticky, hard, or very hot foods until you are comfortable

  3. Cleaning Your Dentures

  • Remove dentures daily for cleaning

  • Brush gently with a denture brush and mild soap or denture cleanser (not toothpaste)

  • Rinse them thoroughly before wearing

  4. Caring for Your Mouth

  • Rinse your gums and tongue with warm saltwater before putting dentures back in

  • Massage your gums to improve blood circulation

  5. Removing Dentures at Night

  • Always remove your dentures before sleeping to give your gums time to rest

  • Store them in clean water or denture solution overnight

  6. Adjustments & Follow-Ups

  • Visit your dentist for adjustments if you experience discomfort, clicking sounds, or looseness
