| Care of
the Mouth
1. Remove the cu-seal denture at night when you are ready to sleep.
The cu-seal denture should be left out of the mouth at least 4-8
hours in each 24-hour period unless your dentist advises otherwise.
2. Use a very soft toothbrush to massage and cleanse all of the
gum tissues which are covered by the cu-seal denture.
3. Scrub your tongue with a soft toothbrush.
4. After each meal, whenever possible, remove the cu-seal
denture, rinse your mouth and carefully clean the cu-seal denture
and your remaining teeth.
5. We recommend you NOT to use home adhesive liners-usually if these
are needed, your cu-seal denture needs attention by the dentist
who made them for you.
Care of your Cu-seal Dentures
1. When removing your cu-seal denture for cleaning, be sure to soak
in cold water to harden the lining. Thoroughly
cleanse the inside as well as the outside of the cu-seal
denture using a denture brush and liquid detergent or a non- abrasive
bar soap. Using toothpaste on the cu-seal denture is not recommended.
2. Brush the cu-seal denture over a partially filled basin of water.
If the cu-seal denture should slip and fall, the water will prevent
damage to the cu-seal denture.
3. Soak the cu-seal denture overnight in a commercial denture cleaner
(A substitute cleaner is: 1 teaspoon Clorox and 2 teaspoons of Calgon
water conditioner in a cup of
water.)
IMPORTANT: NEVER SOAK A DENTURE WHICH HAS METAL
PARTS IN THE CLOROX-TYPE CLEANER.
4. Try to NEVER let the cu-seal denture dry out. When it is
not in your mouth, it should be kept in a cleaning solution or water.
5. Before inserting your cu-seal denture be sure to soak in
very warm water for a few minutes to soften up the lining so it
will seat easily & properly.
What to Expect
1. This is a prosthesis and is not nor will it be like your natural
teeth.
2. If you eat corn-on-the-cob or apples or other foods which
tend to dislodge the cu-seal denture then it may cause a harmful
effect on the weak part of the ridges in front of the mouth. These
foods should be cut with a knife and fork and chewed evenly on the
back teeth. This will aid in seating the cu-seal denture. Tearing
or biting food off with the front teeth tends to unseat the cu-seal
denture, especially in new denture wearers
3. If any problem whatsoever arises with your cu-seal denture, return
to your dentist for help. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST, reline or
repair your cu-seal denture. Your
dentist's responsibility and obligation ends and the cu-seal denture
may be ruined if you attempt to adjust or repair your own cu-seal
denture.
4. No denture is permanent. Changes will continue to occur in
the bones and soft tissues of the mouth. Only your dentist can determine
if your mouth is in a healthy condition and
if new dentures are needed. Return to your dentist for regular checkups
and maintenance of your cu-seal denture, at least once a year.
