You\u2019re so tired that you glide through your nightly routine, barely aware of what you\u2019re doing until you\u2019re finally comfortable and cozy in your bed. Then it dawns on you \u2013 you\u2019re still wearing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ranchoparkdentalgroup.com\/dentures.html\">dentures<\/a>. You completely forgot to drop them in their special cleaning solution for a soak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting back out of bed is probably the last thing you want to do, but there are good reasons why you should! Keep reading to learn why soaking your dentures is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s More Bacteria in Your Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentures aren\u2019t exactly dainty. When you tap them, they likely feel just as solid as any other object. So would it surprise you to know that the base is porous? While the false teeth in your dentures could be made from a variety of materials, the base is likely acrylic, which absorbs bacteria more easily. Essentially, gum-disease-causing strains can take shelter in the pours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason there\u2019s likely more bacteria in your mouth than you might think is that oral bacteria actually increase with age. Specifically, periodontal strains become more abundant over time, making it easier to develop gum disease. Overall, it\u2019s best to clean your dentures as efficiently as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Gums Need a Breather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleeping with your dentures is associated with poor gum health. This is because, believe it or not, your pink oral supports need to breathe. Like other areas of your body, gums require proper circulation in order to absorb vital nutrients from the bloodstream \u2013 as well as air out foul odors. Dentures are meant to fit snugly and constrict blood flow when worn, so taking them out before bed gives your gums a good six to eight hours to circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maximum Cleaning Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brushing your dentures is all well and good \u2013 essential, even \u2013 but it\u2019s not as thorough as soaking them. There are simply nooks and crannies that are easy to miss with a toothbrush, while a liquid cleaner can easily slip in and wash out pours. Plus, if you soak your dentures every night, it\u2019ll be much easier to clean them in the morning. Let the cleaning solution do the hard work for you and enjoy the maximum efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, it\u2019s important to get a good night\u2019s rest. It might be difficult to do that if you\u2019re thinking about all the bacteria that could be growing on your dentures! It\u2019s worth taking \u201cthe walk of shame\u201d back to your sink, preparing their cleaning solution, and dropping them in a glass. When you get up the next morning, your dentures will be ready to give you a fresh, squeaky-clean smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ranchoparkdentalgroup.com\/meet-dr-nicole-sassounian.html\">Dr. Nicole Sassounian<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ranchoparkdentalgroup.com\/meet-dr-albert-silvera.html\">Dr. Albert Silvera<\/a> would be happy to help you with all your oral \u2013 and denture-related \u2013 needs.
