Caring for your denture
- Clean the denture daily with a denture brush and water or soap, not regular toothpaste (it is abrasive)
- Also brush your gums, tongue and any remaining teeth
- Preferably leave the denture out at night so your gums can rest
- Store it dry or in water in a container
- Come for a check-up once a year, even if you have no natural teeth
Insurance cover
Repairs and relining of a full denture are covered by the basic insurance, with a personal contribution. For a partial denture a supplementary insurance is needed. Your deductible may apply. We tell you the costs in advance.
