Video Transcript

"So, are you curious, on how you can brush your dentures? Well, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I'm going to show you, on how to brush your dentures. Pretty much, it's really easy. All you want to do, is you want to take your dentures, and then you just kind of hold onto them really good, and then just brush them like you normally would, in a circular motion, with your toothbrush and toothpaste. It's always best to use toothpaste. Even though they're not real teeth, you always want to use toothpaste, because that's just going to keep them, really good and clean, so you just brush them in a circular motion,. You actually too, it's always best to do, is you want to go ahead, and make sure you brush underneath, because sometimes food and debris, can kind of get caught up underneath the ridge of the dentures, so make sure you brush underneath, to loosen up that food or debris, that might be in there, and then once when you're done, just make sure you always keep them really good and dry, and then you're always going to want to put them in a dipping bath afterwards, especially if you're getting ready to go to bed. You don't want to wear them at night, because they can get loose and you can like, choke on them, so you always want to put them in a dipping bath afterwards, which would just be a cup of water, and you can actually buy, like denture cleaning solution, that you can put them in, but you would just put them in the dipping bath, and let them sit there, overnight, and then once when you have placed the dentures in the dipping bath, you just let it sit there overnight, and then the next following morning, you take them out, and just dry them off really good. Place any adhesive that you need to place in there, and then put them in your mouth, and then just start functioning with them, but once again, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I just showed you, on how you can brush your dentures."
