Although dentures are excellent appliances to replace missing teeth and revitalize your smile, there is the potential for them to create different dental problems if you don’t take care of them. Denture odor is one of the problems that can arise from a lack of proper dental maintenance. Food particles stuck in your teeth, wearing your dentures all the time, and a lack of proper cleaning are the most common reasons why denture odor would occur.

Your mouth is home to millions of different bacteria and while brushing and flossing your teeth is a great way to keep your mouth clean, it doesn’t remove the bacteria from your tongue.

After cleaning, be sure to rinse with mouthwash and thoroughly rinse your toothbrush with water. You’ll know your tongue is fresh and clean when all the discolored debris disappears and you’re left with a clean pink tongue! Contact us at (415) 693-9485 to schedule your bi-annual appointment!
