Taking Care of Partial Denture Implants Helps Maintain Oral Health

"The conclusion was based on the results of their national survey of partial dentures wearer (PDWs), showing that 36% did not observe proper oral hygiene within the first year of wearing dentures. The article also says that “the teeth on either side of a partial denture are twice as likely to be lost compared to other teeth in a partial denture wearer’s mouth.” While still aware that keeping both fake and authentic teeth clean is important, having dentures might have given people some sort of reassurance that they are safe. Dentures are not indestructible. They need proper daily cleaning and have to be kept moist when not in use to ensure that they last long. People with denture implants, on the other hand, will need to ensure that they keep their mouth clean and healthy to avoid complications such as gum disease. Gum disease can present complications especially in the area around the implants where bacterial plaque may start building up."
