Cleaning your dentures is very important not only to their appearance, but also to their longevity. It’s a good idea to rinse them off every time you eat. In addition, they should be brushed every day using a soft toothbrush and warm (not hot) water, to remove food debris and plaque. Don’t use regular toothpaste, bleach or other abrasive agents. Dish soap is a great alternative! An occasional soak in Polident® or Renew® Denture Cleaner will work well to remove stains and loosen plaque build-up on your denture. Don’t neglect your mouth…it’s important to brush your gums and tongue too!
