General Health Information

Controlling the plaque and bacteria in the mouth is the best way to prevent the emergence of swollen gums
and other symptoms of gum disease. The right brushing and flossing
techniques, as well as follow-up rinsing of the mouth with an effective
mouthwash, is the ultimate prevention against swollen gums. Having
dentures is not an excuse for not maintaining proper oral hygiene.
Although dentures may feel uncomfortable at first, it is essential to
keep dentures clean and free from foods that can cause stain, bad
breath and swollen gums. Brush all surfaces with dental health care
product at least twice a day to ensure that bacteria and plaque does
not accumulate. Also, remove the dentures before going to bed and place
them in the water or liquid used to clean dentures.
