How to Clean Dentures Properly: The Complete Daily Routine
How to Clean Dentures: Complete Daily Routine | Dr. B Dental Solutions
To clean dentures properly, you must clean both your mouth and your denture every day. Brush your mouth with a gentle paste, brush your denture with a non-abrasive cleanser, and soak your denture overnight in a safe soaking solution. Avoid toothpaste, hot water, and harsh chemicals, which can damage dentures and irritate tissues.
The daily routine below gives you the dentist-designed step-by-step system for the cleanest, safest, and healthiest results.
Why Proper Denture Cleaning Matters
Dentures collect food, bacteria, yeast, plaque, and biofilm, just like natural teeth. If not cleaned properly, this can lead to:
Denture stomatitis (yeast infection)
Odor and bad taste
Irritation and sore spots
Poor denture fit
Gum inflammation
Long-term material damage
Using the wrong products — like toothpaste or harsh bleach tablets — can scratch dentures, weaken materials, and harm soft liners.
That’s why proper technique and the right products matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use toothpaste to clean my dentures?
No. Regular toothpaste is too abrasive and can scratch dentures. Use a non-abrasive cleanser like Cleanadent Paste instead.
Do I need to clean my mouth if I have no teeth?
Yes. Cleaning your gums, tongue, and cheeks removes bacteria and helps prevent irritation, infection, and denture stomatitis.
What is the best denture cleanser?
Liquid Crystal is recommended for home use because it cleans deeply without harsh chemicals. Powder Crystal packets are ideal for travel.
How often should I soak my dentures?
Dentists recommend soaking dentures every night to remove bacteria, stains, and odor that brushing alone cannot remove.
