The five most common denture mistakes...
Do you want to keep your dentures looking great and feeling comfortable? Don’t make these five common mistakes that can ruin your smile:
• Don’t brush them with toothpaste or bleach. They can harm the denture material. Use a soft brush and a denture cleaner instead.
• Don’t leave them dry. They can lose their shape and fit. Soak them in water or a denture solution every night.
• Don’t skip your dental visits. Your mouth can change over time and affect how your dentures fit. Get regular check-ups and adjustments from your dentist.
• Don’t wear them all the time. Your gums need some rest too. Remove your dentures for at least four hours a day to prevent irritation and infection.
• Don’t forget to rinse them after every meal. This can help remove food and bacteria that can cause bad breath and decay.
Follow these tips from The Denture Man and enjoy your beautiful smile with your dentures!

Have you driven past this King Country icon lately?
Months after launching a campaign to have Waitomo’s famous big apple refreshed, the woman behind it has closed her petition and claimed victory.
Once the apple of the eye of passers-by, the big apple had suffered years of neglect, which took the shine off the apple and left a bad taste in the mouths of locals, until Piopio resident Karen Barrett took a bite out of its owners - Tourism Holdings Ltd (THL).
