Can You Sleep With Dentures?
June 15, 2024
“Can You Sleep With Dentures?” addresses a practical, common question for new denture wearers. In general, dentists recommend removing dentures at night to give gum tissue a chance to rest and to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
Dentures should be kept clean and stored in water or a denture solution overnight so they don’t dry out or warp.
If a denture ever feels loose, uncomfortable, or causes sore spots, a dentist can make adjustments — it shouldn’t be something you simply live with.
If this sounds like your situation, the best next step is a conversation with your dentist. Saifee Family Dentistry offers dentures in Spring, TX — call (281) 502-2642 or request a visit online.
