Abstract: Importance of denture hygiene includes preventing the bacteria that could cause bad mouth odor, oral and systemic disease, and prolonging the life of the dentures.

Dentures, according to the shanghai dental professionals, are artificial teeth and its appearance and effect are similar with the real teeth. Since they are artificial, they don’t have the germ-fighting, self-sanitizing and self-sanitizing functions.

And shanghai dental reminds denture wearers that a daily cleaning routine is vital to reduce the accumulation of bacteria on denture surfaces. The importance of denture hygiene is as follows.
