Thank you for mentioning you CAN keep dentures in your mouth over night! Usually dentists say strictly "no" , I just simply can not sleep without. Thanks!
Wow! Can't thank you enough as I've recently had a part denture on top and bottom, and I've a real psychological thing about not having them in my mouth! As when they put them first in after extractions, I had to leave them in a week and it made me at least feel like I had teeth again. This comment made my day 💐🇦🇺
Yes, I can't since I got my dancers. It's like it just feels really weird without them. Besides, you know that you can't talk well. But even my daughter said when they are out which is never in front of anybody except for Her She said because I keep in mind all the time when they're out. My mouth doesn't actually look how sometimes it's sucked in. She said sometimes she can't tell which is good but I yeah , I sleep with the men everything plus I have two canines and if I try to shut my mouth , they go into my gums so I can't do it
Just got my set of dentures. My doctor recommended not using the efferedencent tablets at all. She said dentures are pourius and these tablets will eventually ruin them. She said clean really good with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
My mother never put her dentures in water. She cleaned them at night and she put thim back in her mouth and there was a reason for that. So that way her mouth wouldn't become incaved. And it wouldn't give her granny mouth.
They told me to clean mine with bleach dilution in water and everyone online is saying NOOOOO 🤣 I feel ya, I feel like alot of dentists only see dollar signs when you walk in the door 😅
My mum always kept her dentures in her mouth over night. She only ever removed them to clean. She said if she dies without them in it’s very difficult to get them back in after death!
just watched a video claiming never leave dentures in a glass of water over night. that video from another professional in the industry. so who is right? who is wrong? so much misinformation out here. makes it hard for us to know truth from fiction.
Arg! I know! This subject drives me nuts. Even the techs at the dental office have different opinions. So what are we supposed to do & who are we to believe?
Hideaway pizza cups work great just letting everyone know. Fill it up half way and boom denture holder. [wouldn’t recommend if you have little kids or are accident prone on spilling.]
I keep my dentures in a glass of water over night so they don’t eat me out of house and home while Iam asleep the walls of the glass makes it extremely difficult for them to get out
I wear mine to bed, I've done it like that since I first got them, almost ten years ago. The biggest reason I do it, is in case of an emergency, I have my teeth. What if the house catches fire or something where I have to quickly evacuate, it's once less thing I have to worry about doing.
My first six months i was wearing them to bed then quickly started to leave them out overnight because i realized my mouth was changing and looking thinner especially my lips.Ever since ive been leaving them out overnight my mouth looks like its back to normal. 💪👍
so i just got my dentures, only had them 2 days now. still learning things. but i thought they shouldn't be stored dry? and also, i know people do sleep with them, my cousin keeps his in 24/7, but isn't that bad? gums need time to breathe right? and i heard from other denture videos, keeping them in all the time will soften your gums up alot. my dentist told me the first night, sleep with them, then take them out every night before bed.
There will always be many views on this topic. And each dentist will have their opinion based of who their teacher was or their mentor most likely …. My mentor always said sleeping in them is 100% ok, the main element and the only thing you must do, is clean them every single day. This way going to bed wearing CLEAN dentures is not an issue at all. Your guns can withstand this. Healthy gums equal happy patients . It’s personal preference , I would say 50/50 of our patients sleep with them in so there’s no clear evidence of any way being right or wrong . Juts make sure they are clean :)
My husband just got a temporary denture type appliance for one tooth to be repaired because of the upper part of the mouth what we wanna know is they gave him a case and a case has holes in the top and the bottom like a mouthguard case and then I told him to put water in it and keep it moist at night Why the heck is your holes in a case this is probably different than dentures.
Absolutely . It’s very common. Just be sure to clean them at night, then you can sleep with them in, if you find that’s comfortable . If the denture is really small, best to keep these designs out of mouth overnight just to be safe .
Would it matter if when I had my real teeth ,I would grind them when I slept ,if I kept my fakes in ,will I grind them and if so ,could that damage them ? Thanks ,love to hear your feedback !
Clean water is ok. A lot of people sue cleaning denture tablets, they are great aswell but not needed. If you cleaned denture with toothbrush then places in clean water that is more than enough
Water or salt water? I just got my dentures yesterday doctor said to keep them in for first 48 hours cause of swelling, so now im looking forward to taking them out and getting full sleep,
Wearing dentures to bed is Not Recommended.The tissue should be exposed to the air and able to relax from the pressure of the dentures to keep the gums healthy.Keeping them in water is a personal preference but if the water has a high alkali content it could promote a build on the dentures.
I am thinking about getting snap in or overdentures or whatever you call them. Since they are held in place by mini implants, can they be left in overnight? I ask because I also have RA in my hands and don't think I could take them out and put them back in daily. Anyone with experience with these please help, I really need to know if they're an option for me.
Who an what to do I wear dentures an a tooth from my mouth is shaken ready to fall off have not wear it in a week what to do with it after the tooth is out an I go get a tooth back
I appreciate the video!!! So dry is okay? I usually clean and dry mine with a paper towel then store them in the container. So whenever I put them in I can just apply adhesive and go
@@josesantibanez1725 I'm excited for you!! That's awesome it's a good feeling to have them I hope! Happy to see that people are always out here looking and sharing information!!
Newbie here too. My dentist said the same. Don’t keep your dentures in overnight (bacteria growth and I agree from the standpoint of being in regular health care for almost twenty years) and don’t keep them in water overnight. I agree with it from the standpoint that tap water is not the best in all areas. If dental professionals could agree on like purified drinking water etc, I would feel safer doing so overnight. I also agree they’re made to be wet all day long so being dry could affect things as well. The seesaw of information out there gives me a migraine. Lol.
Hi Marc, If the denture is small, say 1-2 teeth then there maybe a very small chance that the denture can dislodge . We have never heard or come across this , but that doesn’t mean it isn’t to happen. We have always educated our patients that it’s perfectly fine to sleep with them in , and in fact a high percentage of denture wearers actually do this. The main things is to ensure they are cleaned before bed . Thanks for watching :)
Hi dev, I’m not sure to be honest. Soapy water is best to clean it. No matter what you soak in, you still need to physical clean it gently with a brush also. Thanks for watching
@@thedenturecliniccanberra4968 what kind of soap the best to clean the dentures is it baking good to use for cleaning dentures or toothpaste also can be used
I had a partial metal plate denture (3 teeth) put in today my dentist said i can sleep with them i just need to make sure i clean them at least twice a day . Is this okay ? And looking on line not to clean them with toothpaste which i did tonight as didnt no till googled it . Think its ok to just a gentle brush with water. I tried eating with them but could feel the bits of food round the plate so i probably wont eat with them in .
Hi, I have never come across this. I’m not actually sure what the benefit of this would be . Although there are many theories out . There’s always more than one way to do things
I am taking a long time to heal after my oral surgery. Is is ok to leave dentures (temps) in water for days or weeks until I can have the temps fit properly. I have heard only in water for 12 hours. It may take another two weeks for a proper fitting. thanks so much.
I have never come across this one. I would be guessing, I would think if it were a metal plate it maybe ok, if it’s an all acrylic (plastic ) plate then there maybe some warpage happening …
Okay I have had my dentures full on top and partial on bottom.(for around 4 years or so). They are very dull, is there anything I can at home to sharpen them?
Hi Amy, there’s nothing I could advise on this. I think the best solution would be to take them to a registered Dental Prosthetist, and ask them if it’s possible to do one of 2 options 1) change the teeth but keep the original base (called a remodel for partial dentures ) Or 2) use a small dental drill to recarve some anatomy and shape into the mole teeth (this option won’t work aswe as option 1 but will be cheaper option Hope this helps Amy.

I would never go to sleep w/o my weapon. Just think how helpless you are if you can not bite? I would love to rest easy but in today's world I don't think so.
Sounds too abrasive,if you rub off smooth coating of denture it promotes plaque buildup that can stain denture. The recommended is warm soapy water and a denture brush. Never use hot water or a dishwasher also too hot and can warp denture.
