Rinse the denture under water after meals to remove loose food debris. Brush regularly after each meal, or at least before bed. This removes the plaque and some stains. Brush with water, soap, or a mildly abrasive toothpaste, or denture paste. Scouring powders or other abrasive cleaners should not be used because they scratch the denture.
Scratches make the denture more susceptible to collecting debris, plaque and stain.
You can use a denture brush or a regular soft toothbrush to clean the denture, but use a separate brush for cleaning any natural teeth you have. Make sure you reach all areas of the denture. Rinse the denture with water afterwards. Chemical immersions can be done daily or several times a week. The most effective way to keep your dentures clean is by daily brushing, in combination with soaking the dentures in a chemical solution.
