Is it safe to use denture toothpaste on real teeth?

Test: No. They are usually more gritty. Take some regular toothpaste and rub it between your fingers, now do that with the denture paste and notice the difference. Please use only regular tp on your teeth.

Sure: Won't hurt them. But , likely no fluoride, so won't help as much either. It is ok to use regular toothpaste on dentures. Forget the nonsense on tv. It is best to soak in efferdent-like solution which kills bacteria, but perfectly fine to brush them with regular toothpaste.

Not recommended: Denture toothpaste may not have Fluoride in it. While it probably wouldn't be unsafe it would probably be unwise. Stick to regular toothpaste for teeth.

Not really: A little more abrasive than regular tooth paste.

No: Denture toothpastes are more abrasive that those meant for natural teeth.
