Dentures and dental appliances such as bridges are tooth substitutes. They don’t have the advantage of being permanently fixed to your gums as do natural teeth, so greater care must be taken to prevent damage to both the dentures and to your gums.
Dentures are designed to be looked after in the same manner as your teeth – they should be brushed regularly after eating with a soft toothbrush and specific denture cleaners. These are designed to lengthen the life of your dentures by preventing scratching and wearing away the surface of the appliance. If it is not possible to brush your dentures after eating then rinsing them will help to remove any debris under the denture that may damage the gums.
Care must also be taken to prevent shocks such as dropping your dental appliances, so when cleaning them, put the plug in the basin so that if you drop your dentures then the fall will be cushioned by the water and they will not chip or break. Similarly, bleach shouldn’t be used on dentures as this may damage them and will whiten the pink area that the teeth are set into.
Dentures are not designed to ever be dry, so if not being worn do not stored them wrapped in a tissue as this may make them brittle and prone to damage. Keep them in a denture soak in a specifically designed denture bath or holder, changing the soaking solution regularly.
If your dentures don’t fit properly or are worn in places they may cause irritation to the gum surface that may result in pressure sores or mouth ulcers forming. If you have sore gums and your dentures rub that affects your enjoyment of and ability to eat good food, so needs prompt action to remedy this.
Your community pharmacist has products to allow you to keep your dentures clean and lengthen their life. Have a talk to them about the best products to maintain your dentures or dental appliances, and to ensure that any gum damage is promptly cared for to prevent further pain and soreness that results from ongoing abrasions from eating and drinking.
Your pharmacist will be able to advise you if you need to consult a dentist or doctor to assist you with any problems associated with your dentures, or be able to select and advise on the correct products to care for your dentures and for your optimum oral health.
When you step into a pharmacy, you expect more than just shelves of products. You want support, knowledge, and a familiar face. At Family Pharmacy Granville, we believe a pharmacy should feel like part of your everyday life. Like a trusted neighbour who’s always there when you need them.
We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are part of your community. And we’re proud to support your health, your family, and your future with genuine care.
A community pharmacy is about people, not just prescriptions. It is a place where locals come for honest answers, everyday health solutions, and friendly service. Whether you are picking up your regular medication, asking about a new script, or looking for relief from seasonal allergies, we are here to help with practical advice you can count on.
At Family Pharmacy Granville, we serve more than just customers. We support families from all walks of life. Our team takes the time to listen, explain and recommend what is best for you. It is this personalised approach that sets a real pharmacy apart from the rest.
In a busy world filled with large chain stores and self-serve checkouts, the local touch is often missing. But health is personal. It affects your body, your peace of mind, and the people you love. That is why community pharmacies still matter.
Our Granville team understands the cultural diversity, languages and family dynamics that make this area unique. We help grandparents understand new medications. We explain side effects in simple terms. We work with local GPs to ensure your care is connected and consistent.
That is the role of a true community pharmacy. And it is a role we take seriously.
Being a chemist is more than stocking shelves. It means being prepared, being patient, and being present. Every interaction with our pharmacists and staff is based on respect, privacy and professional standards. We follow strict AHPRA guidelines so you always receive ethical and evidence-informed information.
We are also proud to offer essential pharmacy services like prescription dispensing, Webster-paks for easier medication management, health advice, and home delivery options for eligible patients. These services are designed to make your life easier, safer and more manageable.
As a family-owned and operated pharmacy, we understand the pressures families face. Health issues do not always come with a warning. Kids get fevers at night, pain can flare up on weekends, and stress doesn’t wait for business hours. That is why our team is ready with solutions that are practical and accessible.
Whether you need over-the-counter relief, a quick chat with a pharmacist, or help choosing the right baby care product, we’re here to guide you through it with care and compassion.
Our pharmacy is built on values that never go out of style — trust, reliability, and a genuine interest in your well-being. We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are your local pharmacy. And we are proud to be part of your journey, every step of the way.
