Are You Neglecting Your Dentures?

Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!

Old, uncared-for dentures are bad for your dental health and overall — and they also often contribute to bad breath.  We recommend that you have your dentures cleaned by a professional technician in our office at least once a year.

Although many of our patients hope that one denture will serve them a lifetime, dentures are not a lifetime investment.  ADA  recommends that dentures be replaced every 4-6 years.  If they are neglected or never replaced, they eventually develop a fungal smell and can be a home for plaque and bacteria, which contributes to developing halitosis (bad breath) and intricate a number of other health threats.  Make sure you clean your dentures at home every day and request a  professional denture cleaning in our office at your next check up visit.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com.


Regards,

Herald Square Dental
& The Denture Center
