How should I clean my dentures?
- Your denture should be cleaned on a daily basis (two to three times a day).
- When cleaning, you should first rinse away loose food particles thoroughly. Then moisten your toothbrush (avoid using hard-bristled brushes, as it can damage your dentures) and apply denture cleanser.
- Brush every surface, scrubbing gently to avoid damage.
- Avoid using hot water as it can cause the dentures to warp.
- The denture should be soaked in water when it is not in your mouth so that it will not dry out and warp. Taking care of your mouth also is vital if you wear full dentures
