Many items will stain your dentures, including  coffee, tea, red wine, tomato sauces, curries, medications and your own saliva.  Daily denture cleaning is critical in order to prevent plaque and tartar build-up, food stains, bad breath, mouth infections and redness or irritation to your gums.

Remove your dentures, rinse with water and brush thoroughly after meals. Use a soft brush and liquid dish or hand soap – never use toothpaste as it is too abrasive and may scratch the denture teeth.  Don’t forget to use a separate toothbrush and toothpaste to clean any natural teeth, tongue and gum surfaces.
