Just like in a dental emergency, time is of the essence when something unexpected happens to your dentures. Dentures can crack or break for a number of reasons. Soaking your dentures in hot or boiling water can result in warping. Unexpected accidents can occur where a child or pet gets a hold of your dentures and then its game over. Wear and tear over time can also play a factor, especially without proper care and maintenance. Therefore, even a seemingly harmless daily activity like eating, playing or exercising, can cause a denture to crack or break. Now what? Here are the top three important steps to take when you find yourself in a denture repair emergency www.georgetowndentureclinic.ca/OurServices.aspx:

1. Stay calm: Try not to get yourself worked up. While yes, this is a terrible situation, it is fixable. As they are custom-made for each patient, wearing another person’s dentures or attempting home repairs are not recommended and could cause irreparable damage. Just as you would never think of conducting a dental procedure at home, the same idea goes for your dentures.

2. Professional help: Call your Denturist www.georgetowndentureclinic.ca/ContactUs.aspx as soon as the incident occurs and ask if you can book an appointment right away. What has happened or how it occurred is irrelevant: your dentures must be fixed by a professional immediately.

3. Gather all the pieces: Locate all parts of the broken dentures and collect them together and place them in a cup of water if they are too painful to wear. This will make the repair a lot easier for your Denturist when you sit down for your appointment.
