Daily Cleaning Routine
- Soak in antibacterial cleaning solution (Sterodent) follow manufacturers instructions
- Brush gently with a soft bristled toothbrush or denture brush to remove any debris.
- Rinse thoroughly
If possible rinse your dentures under cold water following meals to prevent food adhering and causing discomfort.
Do not use toothpaste to clean your dentures - it is abrasive and causes tiny scratches in the acrylic where bacteria can multiply.
Denture-borne bacteria is one of the leading cause of gingivitis, periodontal disease and other oral diseases.
