I have dentures at the age of 54, they were still good as new. Is there anyone have dentures like me? How you take care your dentures?

I have partial dentures, i soak it in polident (kinda like alkaselterzer, you put in water to soak my partial dentures) then i brush them always so that it would not make any bad odor.

I have a partial as well and I soak them overnight with a denture cleanser. Dentist told me to not sleep with them because its better on your gum tissues. I'm 42.

I was using ..oh my gosh, I forget the name now. Big name too! um......shoot but now I just buy any one on sale or the cheapest, they do the same job anyway.
My partial is great! I had a temp. partial so I wouldn't go without teeth for 6 months and that was horrible! I kept gagging all the time and having to use poli grip or whatever.
When I got my permenant partial, I didn't have a hard time and now its like 2nd nature to me. biggrin.gif

I've had my permanant partial as of april. No, I set them overnight in a cleanser and it cleans, no matter what brand it is. I rinse it with water in the morning, brush it, start my day. smile.gif
