Congratulations on your new appliance! Below you’ll find helpful information to care for your new smile and keep it looking and feeling its best.

• Handle with care
  Be careful not to drop your appliance—it can break if it hits a hard surface.
• Brush your appliance at least twice a day
  Once in the morning and again before bed. Use the large brush we gave you (or a similar one from the store) with either toothpaste or a gentle soap.
• Soak your appliance overnight
  Always keep your partial in water at night to prevent it from drying out. You can add a denture-cleaning tablet (like Efferdent) to help reduce bacteria.

• Continue your normal oral hygiene routine
  Floss once a day, preferably at night, to remove food particles between your teeth.Brush your teeth twice daily—for at least two minutes—once in the morning and once at night.

• Too tight or too loose?
  If your partial feels uncomfortable or begins to loosen, please call us. We can adjust it to improve the fit.
• Sore spots?
  This is common with new appliances and can usually be resolved with a quick adjustment. Don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule an appointment.
