Do not wear your broken dentures
We do advise you not to try and repair cracked dentures yourself. Even a small misalignment in the fixed dentures can create a lack of suction, in turn can lead to the dentures breaking again soon after you have repaired them, or even causing damage inside your mouth. We understand accidents may happen in the most inconvenient of times, and breaking your dentures is likely not going to be an exception. Nonetheless, it is essential to remove your dentures from your mouth, especially if they crack. Rinse your mouth carefully with water, trying not to swallow. Gently wash your denture from any food still on it and book an appointment with us to have it repaired.
