Cleaning Your Denture
Daily cleaning is essential for fresh breath, healthy gums and long-lasting dentures. Follow these simple steps for the best results.
Daily Cleaning Steps
Clean your dentures at least once a day — and ideally after every meal — to remove food particles, plaque and stains.
- Rinse dentures after eating
- Brush gently with a soft denture brush
- Use a non-abrasive denture cleaner — not regular toothpaste
- Clean all surfaces including the fitting area
Overnight Soaking
Soaking dentures overnight keeps them moist and helps remove stubborn deposits. Always follow the product instructions.
- Soak in denture cleaning solution overnight
- Never use hot water — it can warp dentures
- Rinse thoroughly before putting them back in
- Keep dentures moist when not wearing them
