Cách thực hiện Cleans Upper & Lower Dentures
Cleaning dentures is really about protecting them: they are slippery when wet, shatter if dropped on a hard sink, and warp in hot water. Line or fill the sink first, keep the water moderate temperature throughout, and store the denture submerged so it never dries out.

Bước quan trọng (đừng bỏ sót)
- Line the sink with a towel/liner and/or partially fill it with water BEFORE the denture is over the sink, so a dropped denture is cushioned instead of shattered.
- Use only moderate-temperature (cool or lukewarm) water; hot water warps and permanently ruins dentures.
- Store the denture submerged in water or solution in a covered cup, never dry.
- Gloves on before handling; gloves off without self-contamination and hands washed at the end.
Lỗi thường gặp
- Holding the denture over a bare, empty sink with no towel or water cushion.
- Rinsing or storing the denture in hot water.
- Leaving the denture dry instead of in a covered cup of water.
- Skipping the rinse before AND after brushing.
Vì sao quan trọng
A denture is a costly, custom-fit device made of acrylic that cracks on impact and distorts with heat, so nearly every scored step guards against those two failures: the lined/filled sink absorbs a drop, moderate-temperature water prevents warping, and cool-water storage keeps the material from drying and losing its shape. Examiners watch the sink-prep step closely because a dropped denture is the fastest way to fail and to harm the client.
