Sleeping with denture

2017-02-22 21:32:53
My mother has full upper denture and partial lower denture. She prefers to sleep with denture on. Is that safe from hygiene perspective? What do doctors recommend? Is it better to put denture in water overnight and apply only when eating or always keeping them on?

Hello The reason doctors usually ask you to keep dentures in water overnight is to give rest to the tissues and the surrouding muscles. It is always better to give rest to your body. The dentures should be cleaned properly after eating to maintain good hygiene. Hope your question is answered.
