Poor maintenance can lead to an uncomfortable fit, gum irritation, bad breath, and infections.By following a consistent cleaning routine and taking care of your dentures, you can maximize their lifespan and enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile. Regular dental checkups are important to ensure your dentures remain in good condition and fit properly.
