How do you clean dentures?
Clean dentures daily by brushing them gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush or denture brush and a non-abrasive cleaner—not regular toothpaste. Rinse them after eating and soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them fresh and bacteria-free. Always rinse thoroughly before wearing them again.
