Keep your smile fresh, your dentures clean, and your mouth healthy.
Proper denture care is essential for preventing odours, stains, and infections — and keeping your dentures looking and fitting their best.
Here’s a simple step-by-step routine to follow every day:
✅ Daily Denture Cleaning Routine
- Remove and rinse after meals: Rinse with warm water to remove food particles. Be careful not to drop them — rinse over a towel or water-filled sink.
- Brush your dentures daily: Use a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner (not toothpaste). Gently brush all surfaces, including clasps if you wear partials.
- Soak overnight: Keep your dentures in water or denture solution to maintain shape. Rinse thoroughly before wearing them again.
- Clean your mouth too: Brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth daily. Remove adhesive residue if you use any.
🛑 Avoid Using:
- Toothpaste (too abrasive)
- Bleach or harsh cleaners
- Hot water (can warp dentures)
- Sharp tools to remove buildup
🦷 Bonus Tips:
- Clean over a soft surface to prevent drops
- Use denture cleaning tablets weekly for deep cleaning
- Visit your dentist regularly for fit checks and professional cleanings
