Denture brush and soap
Hey there! Cleaning your dentures isn't too tricky. Just follow these steps:
Start by filling the sink with water or laying down a towel – it'll save your dentures if they slip!
Give them a good rinse to get rid of any food bits.
Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub them. Regular toothpaste is too rough, so go for a mild soap or special denture cleaner.
If you use adhesive, get into those grooves to clean out any leftover gunk.
Rinse them again after brushing.
Pop them in a soaking solution or plain water (be sure to check directions for the recommended soak time). If you're unsure about which solution to use, check with your dentist.
In the morning, rinse them off before putting them back in.
That's it! And remember, a regular dentist visit helps keep them in tip-top shape.

With any denture cleaner or soap and water
Best way to clean arcrylic dentures is very soft bristled brush and warm soap and water. We do not recommend toothpaste as it is too abrasive and can leave micro-abrasions in the denture and this will harbor smelly bacteria. The bacteria in the micro-abrasions will make denture less hygienic over time.
