Dentures can break, so always place a towel down or fill the sink with water, then clean your dentures over the sink or towel just in case they slip out of your hands by accident.
Rinse your dentures thoroughly to remove loose food particles. Use cool or warm water. Never use hot water as it can warp your dentures. Only apply either a mild soap or denture paste to a moistened denture brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush. Do not use ordinary toothpaste, bleach or vinegar unless directed to do so by your dental professional. Brush all surfaces thoroughly. Avoid using brushes with stiff bristles, as they can damage the denture material. Rinse dentures well under the tap to remove all traces of cleaning paste. While you sleep at night, soak your dentures in a cleanser or one recommended by your dental professional. Brush your gums, tongue and palate with a soft-bristled regular toothbrush to remove plaque and stimulate circulation. Then reinsert your dentures.
To give your mouth an extra, fresh clean feeling, rinse with a non-alcohol mouthwash as well.
Remember:
Dentures need to be relined every 2-3 years.
