If you purchase denture cleanser at your local chemist, it is likely appropriate for you. We do urge you to be wary of DIY cleansers and online hacks. Be sure the denture cleanser you choose is approved by the Australian Dental Association.
Denture cleanser may be a special tablet dissolved in a dental bath or denture polish used with the intended cleaning brush.
Remember not to use toothpaste on your dentures, as it can scratch the prosthetics.
Denture Care: Why It Matters
You may think denture care is not very important since the artificial teeth cannot decay. However, keeping your dentures clean means fresher breath, fewer denture stains, and a lowered risk of gum disease.
We recommend:
- Brushing your dentures regularly with denture polish and a denture brush
- Rinsing your dentures periodically during the day
- Soaking your dentures in a special bath of room-temperature water during the night
- Talking to your dentist if your denture feels loose or becomes damaged
If you have questions about denture care or cleansers, we encourage you to call our dental clinic.
