Thanks for asking!: Dentures pastes are sold over the counter in most pharmacies. If patient stops by my prophy jet machine will remove most denture stains.

No: You may try full strength peroxide but you risk making the pink acrylic appear bleached if you leave the denture soaking for too long.

Manually brush: Soaking is fine, but to attempt to really clean the dentures, the dentures need to be soaked and then scrubbed (but not with anything too abrasive to leave scratches, etc on the dentures. Sometimes the stains are so extreme, you may want to bring to a dentist and he/she may have to send to a dental lab.

Denture cleaning: Brush your senture with a soft toothbrush and no toothpaste. Toothpaste is too abrasive. You can soak in white vinegar to remove any stain and buildup. Rinse but do not soak in mouthwash.

Water and Vinegar: Store the dentures overnight in water, adding half of a teaspoon of white vinegar will help keep them clean and odor free. Old fashioned, inexpensive and efficient method.
