False teeth, or dentures, are removable appliances that help many people eat and smile with confidence. Care tips for extending the life of dentures include: Handle them carefully — always fill the sink with water or place a towel down when handling dentures. Remove and rinse after eating. Brush daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner — not regular toothpaste. Soak overnight in water or a denture-soaking solution. Rinse before putting back in your mouth. See your dentist regularly for checkups and adjustments. Avoid hot water, which can warp dentures. With proper care, dentures can last 5-7 years or longer before needing replacement.
