The most common and popular way is to soak them overnight in a cleaning solution. You should brush them before soaking to make sure to remove all particles so they will be truly clean.

What causes black mold look on dentures?

How To Properly Care For Dentures?

Cleaning dentures properly is important. These items are not as durable as they look and should be treated with care. This is especially important for caregivers who clean their patient's dentures and those who have just recently had dentures made for themselves. Failing to care for dentures properly can be very costly. The first step in proper denture care is to remember to brush them every day. While the risk of getting cavities and feeling pain is gone, it is still possible to get a bacterial infection in the mouth without proper hygiene. If denture adhesive is also used, be sure to remove the residue or soak the dentures overnight with a dissolving tablet. There are special brushes for dentures; one side is designed to clean the inside crevice and the other side is designed to brush teeth as a regular toothbrush would. When cleaning or brushing dentures, it is crucial to always use cool or cold water. Holding them under cold water may be uncomfortable for some, but the water should never be more than lukewarm. If hot water is used on dentures, the material that adheres to the gum may melt slightly. This will result in an improper fit and possibly pain, as well. From time to time, it is important to check the teeth on the dentures. Putting very light pressure on each tooth, try to wiggle it, but do not apply force. If a tooth is slightly loose, it will wiggle a little. This is a sign that the dentures need to be taken in to a dentist to be fixed. It is much easier to fix them when they're loose, rather than waiting for the teeth to fall out completely. Remember to treat the gums well. This is an important part of proper denture care. If gums become inflamed, the dentures will not fit properly and will hurt. After brushing the dentures at night, massage the gums lightly with a finger or swab dipped in mouth wash. Rinse the mouth well with antiseptic mouthwash after removing the denture and again before putting them in. This will ensure that harmful bacteria are kept to a minimum.
