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.
1. Brush Your Mouth (Yes — even if you have no teeth)
Use: Cleanadent Paste + Ergonomic Toothbrush to Clean:
Gums
Tongue

Love Dr B's
I've been a denturewearer for about 4 years now and Dr B's products are absolutely the perform as they're supposed to. They're approved by the Ada and they make wearing dentures something that you can do with confidence more than any other product.
My package was stuck in shipping for awhile so I reached out to the company for assistance. They were extremely fast at responding and even sent a new package immediately after seeing the package had not moved in about two weeks. Love the products and customer service!
I got my starter kit and love all the products. My favorite is the sonic clean with the liquid crystals. Knowing that using the liquid crystals killing all the many kinds of bacteria eases my mind in this denture journey. Thank you Dr B !
