Cleaning Your Dentures

Cleaning Dentures

Removable partial or full dentures require proper care to maintain them clean, free from stains and looking their best. For good denture care:

  • Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Rinse with water over your dentures to remove food debris and other particles. You may need to place a towel on the counter or in the sink or put some water in the sink so the dentures won’t break if you drop them.
  • Handle your dentures carefully. Make sure you don’t bend or damage the plastic or the clasps when cleaning.

  • Clean your mouth after removing your dentures. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush on natural teeth and gauze or a soft toothbrush to clean your tongue, cheeks and roof of your mouth (palate).
  • Brush your dentures at least daily. Gently clean your dentures daily by soaking and brushing with a 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. Do not use denture cleansers inside your mouth.
  • Soak dentures overnight. Most types of dentures need to remain moist to keep their shape. Place the dentures in water or a mild denture-soaking solution overnight. Check with your denture professionals about storing your dentures overnight. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on cleaning and soaking solutions.

To reduce levels of biofilm and potentially harmful bacteria and fungi, dentures should be

  1. Soaked and brush the dentures daily with an effective, nonabrasive denture cleansers.
  2. Cleaned OUTSIDE of the mouth.
  3. Always rinsed the dentures thoroughly after using any denture cleansing solution, before placing them back in your mouth.
  4. Moisturised all the time
  5. Soaked dentures in solutions containing sodium hypochlorite bleach for more than 10 minutes.
  6. Store dentures immersed in water when they are not in the mouth, to avoid warping.

How to clean your dentures.(maintaining dentures)

Some studies indicate that using an effervescent cleaner is a superior way to clean a denture. If you use a brush to clean the denture be aware that the abrasiveness of denture cleansing pastes can cause roughness on the surface of the denture. This can allow more bacteria to adhere to your denture.
Of the immersion products available, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) may be the most effective, but only when used properly (10 minutes maximum of soaking). Studies have shown that it can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a major pathogen in the immunocompromised patient.
Another way to clean dentures is with Ultrasonic devices. These work by producing ultrasonic sound waves (20-120 kilohertz) which create microscopic bubbles that grow and implode. Materials adhering to the denture are loosened and removed by this action. Denture Square have one of these in our onsite dental laboratory.
