where do you put partial denture before going to sleep?

Question

My grand father wear dentures why sleeping said he almost swalled them what to do ?

Answer 1

In a container: In a denture container with water inside.

Answer 2

Water: Always put your partial denture in a cup full of water and let it soak whenever it is not in your mouth.

Answer 3

Out of mouth: Leave out of your mouth overnight so the tissues can rest and get filled up with fluid again. Best to brush denture with toothpaste, then soak in effervescent antibacterial cleaner (ex. Efferdent). If you have pets, put out of their reach.

Answer 4

Clean them: I hate to see people take clean dentures, partial or complete, out at night. If you are missing your posterior teeth your mouth will collapse at night making a smaller airway to breathe through at night.

Answer 5

Soak it....: We recommend cleaning the partial with a soft brush and a small amount of toothpaste. We then recommend soaking the partial in fresh water with a new denture tablet. This will keep the partial from getting a poor odor, from getting stained, and from obtaining an accumulation of tartar....

Answer 6

Not many: I don't think any of the prescription sleeping pills are safe. Otcs contain antihistamines that can decrease milk supply, so that's not ideal either. Perhaps the best "sleeping pill" would be warm milk, a relaxing massage, or snuggle time with your partner.

Answer 7

Not many: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is resonably safe but may decrease your breast milk supply. Other sedative medications will make it difficult to respond to your child when they need to feed and may cross in the breast milk as well. Self hypnosis works well with no side effects.

Answer 8

Hypertension: This is a hypertension medication that may cause sleepiness or fatigue.

Answer 9

Sleep Apnea: Snoring can be a sign that you have sleep apnea. This will cause you to have periods during sleep when you stop breathing following by a recovery phase after your brain "wakes up". The headaches upon waking up are a sign that you are retaining carbon dioxide. Treatment is available and will allow you to obtain a restful sleep without the headaches.

Answer 10

Sleep apnea: You should be checked by a sleep specialist and have a sleep study done. Very important to treat sleep apnea if you have it.

Answer 11

Airway almost shut: The noise you hear, and worse, what others are hearing is the soft tissue somewhere in your airway almost closing. The normal flow of air is decreased even if you aren't diagnosed with sleep apnea. Make sure you are taking no sedatives in the evening, as they can make the snoring worse. See a sleep physician, especially if you have excessive daytime sleepiness, or high blood pressure.

Answer 12

It's possible but...: Realize that a person can have a seizure for many reasons. Having a seizure does not have to be related to his medication, his diet, his activities, etc...

Answer 13

See below: It is always possible to have an increased risk of seizure when reducing the amount of barbiturate used from a prior dose.

Answer 14

Yes: Sleep deprivation has many side effects. I believe that they are similar to smoking, drugs, and alcohol.
