How to Clean Dentures on an Airplane (Yes, It’s Possible)
Introduction
Airplane bathrooms are tiny, crowded, and not the easiest place to clean dentures. But with a few travel-friendly tools, you can maintain great hygiene at 30,000 feet.
What You’ll Need
-
Powder Crystal packets (optional for long flights)
-
Travel toothbrush (optional)
Method 1: Cleanadent Wipes (Best Option)
This is the easiest and cleanest way to refresh dentures mid-flight.
Steps:
-
Remove visible food debris
-
Use a Cleanadent Wipe to clean denture surfaces
-
Wipe gums and palate lightly
-
Reinsert denture
-
Apply Adhesadent if needed
No water required.
Method 2: Use Bottled Water + Travel Brush
If more cleaning is needed:
-
Wet the denture with bottled water
-
Brush gently with Cleanadent Paste (only if bathroom conditions are clean)
-
Rinse again with bottled water
Method 3: Refresh With Adhesive Only
If the denture becomes loose, but you cannot fully clean:
-
Wipe with tissues
-
Apply minimal Adhesadent
-
Drink water
Not ideal but workable during turbulence or long flights.
Tips for Cleaning Dentures on a Plane
-
Avoid removing dentures at your seat
-
Don’t use airplane tap water
-
Bring extra wipes (always needed)
-
Use Powder Crystal for overnight soak when you land
Conclusion
You don’t need a sink to keep dentures clean on a flight. Cleanadent Wipes and Adhesadent Travel Size make airplane hygiene simple, discreet, and effective.
