-When your dentures are not in your mouth, keep them in water or denture solutions. They need to be kept in a wet environment in order to maintain the proper fit.
-Make sure to clean your gum tissues under your dentures daily with your DentuWave™, soft toothbrush or a washcloth. This removes the plaque and debris on the gums. It also massages and stimulates circulation of the gum tissues.
-Massage your gums by placing the thumb and index finger over the ridge and use a "press-and-release" stroke.
How do I know my dentures no longer fit?

-Problems chewing food while wearing your dentures
-Chronic cheek biting
-Speech difficulties
