Ask
Hello doctor! Children with cleft lip and palate are fixed with dentures using glue to fix. So the doctor asked me what to do when removing the glue to fix the denture to clean the bleeding baby's skin? Looking forward to consulting your doctor help me. Thank you.

Hello. In case you remove the glue to fix the denture to clean the bleeding baby's skin, you should take the baby to a reputable medical facility or one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide soon to check. Check the extent of damage and check the denture for any obstructions. Dentures will help babies eat and drink easier in the early stages.
Babies with cleft lip and palate need surgery to close the cleft lip from 3-6 months old and close the cleft palate from 12-18 months old, depending on the baby's health status.
You should go to reputable medical facilities or one of the hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide for timely treatment.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions about Vinmec. Best regards!
