Use a soft bristle brush and denture cleaner to safely and gently remove food particles and bacteria, then soak the dentures overnight for maximum effectiveness. Dentures rely on staying moist to retain their shape. Submerge your dentures overnight in a denture solution to keep them free of bacteria and fresh.
Handle with Care: As dentures can break easily when dropped, be careful when handling them.
Avoid Any Accidents While Cleaning Dentures: For safety, always use a towel when handling dentures to avoid accidents while cleaning them.
And Don't Forget Your Gums: Your gums still require proper attention even without natural teeth in place. Rinse your mouth with water and gently brush gums to promote optimal oral health.
