It’s More than Dentures… It’s Your Smile!

Taking Care of Your Dentures

Did you know, cleaning your dentures is as important as cleaning your natural teeth.

Dentures should be cleaned after every meal using a denture cream or denture cleaner. Denture teeth are softer than natural teeth and using toothpaste can cause microscopic scratches from the abrasives found on the toothpaste. These scratches give bacteria a place to attach and grow. You should also never use bleach to soak your denture.

Tip: brush your denture over a sink full of water so if the denture slips, it doesn’t break.
