You hear something about the\ncoronavirus pandemic, and you perk up in interest. While your attention is\notherwise occupied, you accidentally drop your dentures on the floor, and they\nshatter into several pieces. What should do you? Read this guide to find out\nhow to handle damaged dentures in Fanwood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should You Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, call your dentist. While most dental\npractices are currently closed for all non-emergency procedures due to\nCOVID-19, a broken denture may qualify as a dental emergency. After all, it\u2019s\ngoing to be difficult to eat or speak without a full and properly fitting set\nof pearly whites. They should be able to get you in for an emergency\nappointment in a timely manner so that you can enjoy using your teeth as soon\nas possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some things you can do at home before your\nappointment to make it a little easier for your dentist, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Collect any pieces of the denture that have\nbroken off and bring them with you to your dentist\u2019s office. <\/li><li>Take them out. If your dentures are damaged in\nany way, you should discontinue wearing them until they are fixed. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What NOT to Do <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you do, do NOT attempt to repair your dentures on\nyour own at home, whether that be with an over-the-counter denture repair kit\nor some kind of glue. Doing so can cause the damage to spread and ultimately\nmake your problem worse. Instead of simply repairing your dentures, you could\nbreak them to the point that you need to get a whole new denture, which can be\nexpensive. As mentioned earlier, you should also stop wearing dentures that are\ndamaged or broken in any way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Take Care of Your Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While accidents happen, there are certain precautions you\ncan take to keep your dentures in tip-top condition, which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Brush your dentures with a soft-bristled\ntoothbrush every morning and night. Do NOT use toothpaste (especially whitening\ntoothpaste) since that can be abrasive. <\/li><li>Soak them overnight in a denture cleansing\nsolution. Do not allow them to dry out at night. This could cause them to lose\ntheir shape, thus not fitting anymore. <\/li><li>Use only cold or lukewarm water to clean your\ndentures. Hot water could warp the material and make them not fit correctly\nanymore. <\/li><li>Be careful when handling your dentures. Only\ntake them out when you\u2019re standing over a sink or a towel to cushion the fall. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these tips, and you shouldn\u2019t have to contact your\nemergency dentist to get your dentures fixed or replaced altogether. However,\nif something does happen to your prosthetic teeth, make sure to call your\ndentist as soon as possible. That way, you won\u2019t have to suffer from missing\nteeth in Fanwood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spfdentalcare.com\/about-us.html\">Scotch Plains Fanwood Dental Care<\/a>, your personal smile goals and physical health are our number one priority.
