How should I clean my dentures?
It is critical to treat your dentures as you would your natural teeth. You should keep them as clean as possible to avoid tooth loss, irritated gums, and bacterial and fungal infections. We normally recommend cleaning them thoroughly at least once a day, and after eating if necessary.
Brush and soak your dentures at least once a day to keep them clean. Brush your dentures first to eliminate any food particles. Instead of toothpaste, use a non-abrasive denture cleaning. Scrubbing too vigorously might produce grooves in the surface, so be careful.
Brush all surfaces of the dentures, including the surface that rests against your gums. This is especially important if you use a denture fixative of any kind.
Dentures should be soaked in a denture-cleaning solution every day. This will assist in the removal of any remaining plaque and stains. It will also aid in the disinfection of your dentures, making them feel cleaner. Always read and follow the directions provided by the manufacturer.
If you see a buildup of stains or scale on your denture, call us and have it cleaned by your denture professionals.
