The Link Between Poor Denture Cleaning and Bad Breath

Introduction

Bad breath in denture wearers is more common than you think — but also completely preventable. Most odor issues come from bacteria and yeast that hide in places brushing alone can’t reach.

Here’s the connection between poor cleaning and bad breath, plus the dentist-approved routine to eliminate odors for good.

Why Dentures Cause Bad Breath

1. Biofilm Accumulates on Acrylic

Biofilm traps odor-causing bacteria.

2. Food Debris Sticks Under the Denture

This quickly leads to foul smell and irritation.

3. Scratched Denture Surfaces Hold More Bacteria

Toothpaste damage = odor buildup.

4. Not Cleaning the Mouth

The tongue is responsible for 90% of oral odor.

5. Dry Mouth

Low saliva increases bacterial growth.

How to Eliminate Denture-Related Bad Breath

1. Clean Your Mouth Thoroughly

Use: Cleanadent Paste
Brush:

• Tongue
  

• Gums
  

• Cheeks
  

• Palate
  
  

This step alone reduces odor dramatically.

2. Brush Dentures Without Toothpaste

Use: Cleanadent Paste
 It removes bacteria without scratching.

3. Soak Dentures Overnight in Liquid Crystal

This is the most effective step for eliminating odor.

Kills:
✔ Odor bacteria
✔ Yeast
✔ Organic buildup

4. Use Cleanadent Wipes During the Day

Especially after meals.

5. Weekly Ultrasonic Cleaning

Use: Ultrasonic Cleaner + Liquid Crystal
Deep cleans microscopic odor-causing buildup.

Conclusion

Bad breath doesn’t have to be part of life with dentures. With a gentle, effective cleaning system, you can keep your breath fresh and your mouth healthy every day.
