How do you remove chewing gum from dentures?

Answer 1

Wet the cloth with the solvent and rub lightly until gone.

Answer 2

There are a couple of ways:-

1) Soak your dentures in hot water, but not so hot you cannot put your hands in the water. This will soften the gum & you should be able to pull the gum off.

2) Use an oil like olive oil or vegetable oil to soften the gum.

If this does not help, take you denture to your dentist, who will send it to his dental lab and they will remove it.

Good luck and my very best wishes,

Answer 3

First make sure you have "alot" of patience or you will be "sorry". There is no quick fix on this one. You get a paper towel like Brawny or a cheapie brand. Do not use the Viva or expensive stuff as it is too soft and becomes part of the Chewing Gum stuck. Get an electric toothbrush or regular toothbrush and get some lemon juice. I would not suggest ammonia or toothpaste. Then little by little add some lemon and brush in circular motions. Little by little while still wet, take your paper towel and grasp a little bit more gum and then rinse and repeat over and over. could take an hour. do not freeze since it could break the denture. Be careful not to scrub too hard with the toothbrush since it also could make you drop it or losen the teeth. Just be gentle and patient and it will come off. Then soak it in your denture cleaner and expect there to maybe still be some chewing gum but it will come off. Just don't expect perfect the first time you clean. Remember you do need to have the dentures clean enough so you do not create a bacteria haven in your mouth with stickie stuff that never some out. You have a throat and food passes through your mouth and things collect. Now after saying that one last note..." If you were dumb enough to chew gum then you will pay the price in patience. And you TOO can post your luck here."

Answer 4

Use baby oil. Put the oil on the plastic and wipe the gum off. Then, clean it off with soap and water. If that doesn't work, try freezing it. Put the plastic in the freezer until the gum is hard and scratch the gum off with your finger nail.

Answer 5

The easiest way is not to chew bubblegum in the first place but when you decide to chew Hubba Bubba and you wind up with a gob of guke on your dentures take and pull as much of it off as you can with your fingers. Place dentures in a plastic container large enough to hold the denture(s) and enough water to cover the teeth and place a polydent tablet and soak over night. Make sure the water is very hot but DO NOT BOIL.

Answer 6

It depends on where you're removing it. If its on fabric or clothing, hold a peice of ice on it until it freezes. Then, just pull it off.

Answer 7

Chew on some chocolate. If you don't want to do that, just wait awhile and the gum will come off on it's own.
