Dentures can contribute to bad breath if not properly cleaned, as bacteria and food particles can accumulate on their surfaces. Poor hygiene leads to plaque buildup, which causes odors and increases the risk of gum infections. Ill-fitting dentures can create pockets where debris collects, exacerbating the issue. To prevent bad breath, clean dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleanser and soak them overnight in a disinfecting solution. Brush your gums, tongue, and palate to remove bacteria. Annual visits with your Denturist will ensure proper fit and oral health. Maintaining a clean denture routine is vital for fresh breath and overall oral hygiene.
