Complete and Partial Dentures

First, remove the dentures from your mouth and place them under running water to wash away food particles on or under the surface or stuck between the denture teeth. Then use a mild soap and soft toothbrush for further cleaning.

Do not use regular toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes, or regular toothpaste since they are too abrasive for the dentures. After cleaning, make sure to rinse it. Also, don’t forget to clean your gums and residual natural teeth with fluoridated toothpaste and a soft toothbrush when the dentures are out of your mouth.

It is recommended to remove the dentures while sleeping. This will prevent it from getting misshapen as well as provide rest to your gums. Place your denture submerged in warm water to maintain its shape. Do not use hot water. If you are using a denture-soaking solution then make sure that your denture does not have metal constituents, else it will be susceptible to tarnishing.
