Caring for your dentures keeps your oral health in check and extends the lifespan of your prosthetic.

Here are some tips for cleaning your dentures.

  • Gently brush your denture with a denture brush and cleanser every day. Do not use toothpaste as it’s too abrasive and can damage the denture.
  • Clean your mouth and dentures before and after wearing them. This reduces plaque and bacteria buildup in the mouth and freshens your breath.
  • Soak your dentures overnight in a denture solution or lukewarm water to keep them moist. This helps retain their shape and strength.
  • Thoroughly rinse your dentures before inserting them in your mouth, especially if you’re using a denture solution.
  • Remove and rinse your dentures after eating meals. You can run water through your dentures to remove food particles and bacteria. Place a towel on the counter or fill the sink with water, so they don’t break if you accidentally drop them.
