⭐ Your Daily Denture Routine While Traveling


⭐  Morning Routine 🌤️

  1. Brush mouth (gums, tongue, cheeks) with Cleanadent Paste.

  2. Brush dentures gently with Cleanadent Paste.

  3. Apply Adhesadent Travel Size for all-day retention.

  4. Rinse mouth and drink water to reduce dry mouth.


⭐ Daytime Care While Traveling ☀️

  • After meals, use Cleanadent Wipes to clean dentures and mouth.

  • If adhesive loosens, apply a small amount of Adhesadent Travel Tube.

  2. Clean mouth again with Cleanadent Paste.

  3. Soak dentures overnight in Powder Crystal (ideal for hotels & travel).

  4. Rinse thoroughly before wearing in the morning.


⭐  Eating & Drinking While Traveling

Travel usually means different foods, restaurants, and social situations.

Tips:

  • Start with softer foods in unfamiliar environments

  • Take smaller bites

  • Chew evenly

  • If dining out, bring Cleanadent Wipes

  • Avoid sticky foods (first few days of travel)

  • Drink plenty of water to reduce irritation

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:

  • Cheeks

  • Roof of mouth

  • Implant abutments or housings (if applicable)

This removes bacteria, prevents infections, and keeps your breath fresh.

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.
