What is the best way to clean my denture?
Always clean your dentures over a bowl of water just in case you drop them. Brush your dentures to remove plaque and any food debris using a small headed soft to medium toothbrush and toothpaste. Clean all the surfaces of the dentures, including the surface which comes into contact with your gums. This is especially important if you use any kind of denture fixative. Soak your denture in clean plain water when you are not wearing them- for example at night when you are giving your mouth a rest from wearing the dentures. Before wearing the dentures again, brush them to freshen them up again. If you notice a build up of stains or scale, have your denture cleaned by your dentist or hygienist.
