The Truth About Denture Cleaning Tablets

Introduction

Denture tablets were the standard 30 years ago — not today. Modern dentures require safer, more effective cleaning.

 

 

Problems With Tablets

1. Don’t Remove Biofilm Completely

They lighten stains but leave sticky residue.

2. Damage Soft Liners

Harsh oxidizers degrade the material.

3. Leave Chemical Residue

Can irritate tissues or alter taste.

4. Do Not Clean the Mouth

You must clean gums, tongue, and cheeks separately.

 

 

What to Use Instead

  • Liquid Crystal (home)

  • Powder Crystal (travel)

These remove bacteria, yeast, stains, and odor without harsh chemicals.

 

 

Conclusion

Denture tablets are outdated. Modern denture materials require gentler, more effective cleansers.
