Ask your dentist: Follow the indications of your dentist, it varies , are you planning for implants placement later on?, In general, do not sleep with your flipper, the tissue needs to rest for few hour ( without pressure). Brush the flipper and keep it in a container with water ( you can use some cleaning tablets that are sold OTC)

Flipper: Must be kept scrupulously clean. Remove & brush w soft t'brush (no t'paste) at least 2x/day. Don't bite into food the false tooth. Put into small bowl, cover w water, drop in denture cleaning tablet every night when you go to bed. Ask your Dentist for instructions specific to your case.
