Why do my dentures smell so quickly?

I am a 70 year old male and I clean my dentures every day, yet they smell. Why do my dentures smell so quickly?

Maybe you are wearing them at night. Maybe they are not cleaned as needed/required.
It could be that there is an overgrowth of the bacteria/fungus in your mouth. I would recommend in addition to cleaning the dentures each day that you also swish around with a glass of water and 3 drops of H2O Orega, which is a combination of water soluble essential oils that have been shown to kill bacteria, fungus, etc. Also, bacteria can hide in the papilla (taste
buds) of your tongue so going over the tongue multiple times in the morning and night with a good tongue scraper like Breath RX can help.

It could be you have dry mouth or a lot of plaque.
