Do you want to keep your dentures looking great and feeling comfortable? Don’t make these five common mistakes that can ruin your smile:

• Don’t brush them with toothpaste or bleach. They can harm the denture material. Use a soft brush and a denture cleaner instead.
• Don’t leave them dry. They can lose their shape and fit. Soak them in water or a denture solution every night.
• Don’t skip your dental visits. Your mouth can change over time and affect how your dentures fit. Get regular check-ups and adjustments from your dentist.
• Don’t wear them all the time. Your gums need some rest too. Remove your dentures for at least four hours a day to prevent irritation and infection.
• Don’t forget to rinse them after every meal. This can help remove food and bacteria that can cause bad breath and decay.

Follow these tips from The Denture Man and enjoy your beautiful smile with your dentures!

Spooky sounds are to be expected when your job involves a lot of wandering about the dark.

When the school empties out, silence can be almost deafening. Every squeak and creak are magnified a hundredfold. For the night staff who believes in ghosts, there needs to be reigning in of the imagination!

In the dark, Minties keep them company, coupled with jangling of the keys to chase ghosts away (whether real or imagined). No spook wants to stick around and listen to the obnoxious chewing echoing down the hallways, through the classrooms. That would drive any living soul insane!
