Hello ma'am
1. Using a toothbrush and toothpaste once daily for dentures is a good practice. Also, they should be kept in plain water at night.
Flossing is not required for dentures.
2. Simply cleaning the gums daily with a clean finger is often good enough to maintain oral hygiene if no teeth are present. Toothpaste is optional
3. An adult broken tooth will not repair itself or grow back
I hope these answers were to your satisfaction. You can contact me for any further queries. Thank you!
