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

Method 1: Cleanadent Wipes (Best Option)

This is the easiest and cleanest way to refresh dentures mid-flight.

Steps:

  1. Remove visible food debris

  2. Use a Cleanadent Wipe to clean denture surfaces

  3. Wipe gums and palate lightly

  4. Reinsert denture

  5. 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.
