How much baking soda do you need to soak dentures in?

About a tablespoon per half a cup of water. Baking soda works well for stains and odor which all dentures, retainers, mouth guards or expanders will have from wearing. Be sure to brush any mouth piece/denture first with a toothbrush so the baking soda can do a better job. If one tablespoon isn't strong enough increase the baking soda to two tablespoons. It's best to let them soak overnight.

How can you find a school that does cheap dental work?

All Dental Schools take patients and give very cheap dental care. It is a necessity for the school. the students in the school need "dummies" to practice on. NOt to say that you are a dummy for going although you do sign a waver and you are fully aware that the treatment you will be receiving is not from a licensed dentist and is completely a learning experience for a dental student. which most the time nothing ever goes wrong so you help a student achieve and succeed and you save on average 60-80% on dental care so its a win-win situation.

Just search for the nearest dental School one with a DDS program (Doctor of Dental Surgery) and they will take pateints and give cheaper dental care.

What is ADA procedure code 09241?

It is for locally administered antimicrobials (i.e., Arestin, Atridox, or PerioChip) which is not typically paid for by the dental insurance companies and runs about $35 per applied site but worth every penny in my opinion though it has not been proven in clinical trials to reduce tooth loss. It is applied for the reduction of pocket depth in patients with adult periodontitis and it may also be used as part of a periodontal maintenance program, which includes good oral hygiene.

How long should the average full upper denture last?

If you look after it then it should last you for the rest of your life, but this means seeing your dentist every 6 months to once a year to have your remaining teeth cleaned and have your partial checked for any weak points. I had my partials for 25 years, but decided I wanted to get new ones that clicked behind my eye teeth instead of a wire up by the gum of my eye teeth. I take good care of my teeth, but unfortunately, genetics has a part in whether you have strong or weak teeth. I have never regretted getting my partials and take good care of them and see my dentist every 6 months.

How soon after having teeth pulled can you use adhesive on your denture?

Most dental patients prefer 1 week time between tooth extraction and fitting of new dentures. It is always best to consult with a Dentist to determine what is best for you. Same day dentures are placed immediately after the patient's teeth are removed and help the patient avoid being toothless after full mouth extraction. They act as bandages by reducing post surgical bleeding and help healing. The tissues swell after oral surgery so that the dentures fit well right after the surgery. Because the tissues are held together by the denture, stitches are usually not needed. Since stitches are made of foreign material that irritates tissue, patients heal well. It's important to wear the dentures full time for a few days or the post surgical swelling will prevent you from being able to wear them until this swelling goes down. Unfortunately, same day dentures become loose and fall out easily after 3 to 6 months since the tooth sockets heal and the gums shrink. During the healing period, the loose temporary dentures can only be held in with dentures adhesive. After healing, they can be relined to help them fit better but most patients choose to make a new set of dentures that look and feel better. Many patients are very unhappy with their immediate dentures for several reasons. These dentures are not tried in the mouth so that the patient never gets to see how the new smile looks until the dentures are delivered after oral surgery. If there are any problems with the color, shape or the arrangement of the teeth, such as with the smile, there's no going back.
