As much or more important than installing a dental prosthesis is doing good maintenance of it. To make it last longer, avoiding irritation of the oral mucosa, it is necessary to remove it daily for a complete cleaning.

The recommendation is to remove the prosthesis before going to sleep, and to prevent dirt that leads to the growth of microorganisms from accumulating on it. The prosthesis is cleaned by immersing it in warm water along with a specific cleaner.

To finish with this explanation of how to repair a dental prosthesis, before placing the prosthesis back in the mouth, it must be rinsed with plenty of water, or it can be brushed with a toothbrush specific for it.
