Sorry if this is in the wrong place, didn't know where else to ask!
My appointment for my GA is set for the 19 of this month, so I was wondering, I haven't really been told about looking after my denture, I'm assuming this will all be explained at my appointment though. What I wanted to know just now is, do I need to buy a special toothbrush and toothpaste for cleaning them? I want to have everything ready for when I come home, so I can recover at home without having to go out and buy stuff. Ideally, I would just be able to use a normal toothbrush and toothpaste and brush them without taking them out. I really don't want to have to take them out to clean them, not until I get used to them anyway.
Also, am I able to sleep with them in? I don't know why, but I'm really scared at seeing myself without my front teeth and I don't wanna scare my son!
And, do I need to buy any of the products that help the denture stay in? Or should it be quite secure from the start?
Sorry for all the questions, I know on the day of the GA I'll forget to ask the dentist!
Thanks.
