Do you have to brush dentures like you have to brush teeth?

Dentures: Denture teeth don't develop cavities or gum disease but you want to keep your dentures clean so you have a good looking smile, a healthy breath and healthy gums. There are overnight cleaning solutions and special denture brushes and cleaning pastes. Ask you own dentist for recommendations.

Like your teeth: your dentures should be brushed daily to remove food particles and plaque.

Must clean !: First, brush the tissues of your mouth supporting the dentures and your tongue. Then brush your dentures over a sink with water in it to prevent breakage if they slip. Use brush and toothpaste or soap/water. Then soak daily in effervescent antibacterial / antimicrobial cleaner such as efferdent or polident. Leave out of the mouth overnight to allow the tissues to rest and rehydrate. Good Luck.
