« Denture Care »

Dentures, whether complete or partial dentures, should be cleaned following each meal.  Cleaning dentures is simple.

1. Fill the sink with a small amount of water, or place a towel on the bottom of the sink to protect the denture should it slip.
2. Place a small amount of antibacterial soap or toothpaste on a denture cleaning brush or toothbrush.   
3. Scrub all surfaces of the denture to remove all food, bacteria, and debris.
4. Rinse denture with water and place in the mouth.

Dentures should be removed overnight to allow the gums tissues to rest and regenerate.  Dentures can be placed in a cup of water with a denture cleaning tablet* (change the solution daily).  Following cleansing, rinse dentures with water before placing in the mouth.

*Do not soak dentures with soft reline material with denture cleansing tablets.
