Brush your dentures at least daily using a denture brush

Remove and gently clean your dentures daily. Soak and brush them with a denture brush or soft-bristled brush and nonabrasive denture cleanser to remove food, plaque and other deposits. If you use denture adhesive, clean the grooves that fit against your gums to remove any remaining adhesive.

The shape of most types of dentures is maintained by keeping them moist. Dentures can be soaked overnight in water or a mild denture-soaking solution. Always clean and soak dentures according to the manufacturer’s instructions, to preserve dentures.

We Strongly advise a professional denture cleaning by your denturist once a year. Dentures that are not properly cleaned accumulate tartar. If this tartar is not removed each day, it provides the perfect place for bacteria, harmful parasites, and viruses to collect. These germs infiltrate the tiny pores in the materials used to fabricate dentures. Although dentures will not last forever, regular maintenance at home and by your denturist will help preserve your denture.

We do not recommend using tooth paste, bleach, baking soda, or any other alternative product that is not designed to be used on a denture, as it is to abrasive and will damage the denture in time. Dish liquid soap with non abrasive particles is an exception and can be used on dentures.
