What glue to use for dentures

Nowadays, many elderly people have problems with their teeth. As the human body ages, the elderly begin to suffer from osteoporosis and their teeth become loose. The teeth of many elderly people will continue to fall out, and at this time they need dentures. When gluing dentures, you should use a stronger and healthier glue, otherwise it will easily become loose. So, what kind of glue should be used to glue dentures?

If your dentures become loose, do not buy glue to fix them yourself. Most of the glue on the market is toxic. It is recommended that you go to a local regular dental hospital and receive proper treatment under the correct guidance of a dentist.

Dentures, like real teeth, require maintenance. Some people think that the maintenance of removable dentures is just to rinse them with water after eating. Little do people know that doing so can only wash away food debris adhered to the surface, but cannot remove bacteria and plaque attached to the dentures. Wearing such dentures for a long time can cause great harm to oral tissues.

The correct way to clean removable dentures is: remove the dentures after each meal, rinse them carefully, and gently brush all surfaces with a small soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in toothpaste or soapy water, focusing on the inner surface of the tray and the area in contact with the remaining teeth. Because these areas are most likely to retain bacteria and plaque, they cause the greatest harm to oral tissues.

Dentures should be soaked in clean water after brushing. It is not recommended to wear them while sleeping. This is beneficial for the oral mucosa that has been under pressure from the dentures for a long time during the day to get a good rest, and it also makes it difficult for the small amount of bacteria and plaque remaining on the dentures to grow, thereby reducing the harmful effects of bacteria and plaque on the oral cavity. In order to better remove food debris, bacteria and plaque on dentures, you can also soak the dentures after brushing in chemical solution to achieve better cleaning and disinfection effects.

Removable dentures are usually made of a special plastic and have a certain service life. After a certain period of use, the plastic will age and deform, and the tooth surface will be worn and flattened, thereby reducing the function of the denture or causing pathological changes in oral tissues. Therefore, a set of dentures should be replaced after being worn for a few years.
