Cleaning False Teeth

Having dentures installed may be a slight inconvenience, but sometimes it's the only way when you've lost some teeth and your jawbone is prone to deteriorating since they no longer have teeth to support. Say you've spent thousands for partial or full dentures. The loss of some teeth in the past due to various factors may presumably be reasons to pay more attention to cleaning what's left. It should also extend to your faux teeth as well.

The first thing you need when preparing to clean your dentures is to get a special denture brush and cleaning gel; your dentist may recommend it. A regular toothbrush can also be used, but it must not be the one you use for your natural teeth. Set up a facecloth on any surface below the denture to prevent breakage in case you drop it. 

Hold the denture gently as you brush every inch of it. Once you're done, rinse it off while brushing to strip any leftover debris and cleaning materials. Find a marked container big enough for the denture and apply soaking solution to preserve it overnight.


Dentures are a way to get back some of your teeth-based confidence back. However, learning to take care of them is also just as important.

My dad is getting dentures next week, and I am so excited for him. Having a full set of teeth is really going to boost his confidence. He lives with my family and I, so I want to know how to clean them, just in case. I had no idea that you had to use a special brush and gel, I will remember that for sure!
