How to Clean Dentures to Prevent Infection (Complete System)



Introduction

Most denture-related infections start from improper cleaning — either the denture isn’t cleaned thoroughly, or the mouth isn’t cleaned at all. This guide outlines the infection-prevention routine that dentists recommend for all denture wearers.


Step 1 — Clean Your Mouth Twice Daily

Use Cleanadent Paste to remove bacteria, yeast, and residue.

Brush:

  • Gums

  • Tongue

  • Cheeks

  • Roof of mouth


Step 2 — Brush Dentures Safely

Use Cleanadent Paste instead of toothpaste.
Toothpaste causes scratches → bacterial growth.


Step 3 — Clean After Meals

Use Cleanadent Wipes.
This prevents bacteria from building up during the day.


Step 4 — Soak Dentures Overnight

Use Liquid Crystal or Powder Crystal.
These kill bacteria and yeast that brushing alone leaves behind.


Step 5 — Weekly Ultrasonic Deep Clean

Use Ultrasonic Cleaner + Liquid Crystal for maximum bacteria removal.


Step 6 — Avoid Sleeping With Dentures

This is one of the most effective infection-prevention steps.


Conclusion

With the proper daily and nightly cleaning system — plus weekly deep cleans — you can dramatically reduce your risk of denture infections.
