How do you clean dentures?

To clean dentures, remove them from the mouth, and brush them using toothpaste. Rinse the dentures, and then insert them into a denture cup with water or a denture-soaking product.

1. Remove the dentures and brush them

   Remove the dentures from the mouth. Handle them with care. Use a standard toothbrush and toothpaste to brush dentures in the same way you would if you were brushing your intact teeth. Rinse the dentures thoroughly after brushing.

2. Soak the dentures

   Soak the dentures overnight in water or water combined with a denture-soaking product.

3. Retrieve the dentures and position back in the mouth

   Retrieve the dentures from the cup, and rinse them under clean water before returning them to your mouth. Denture-soaking solutions can contain harmful substances and chemicals, so it is important to rinse the dentures thoroughly.
