Whether you have Temporary, Flexible, Partial Dentures, or Full Dentures, taking care of them is important to your quality of life.
People who have lost some or all of their teeth need dentures for speaking, eating, and smiling. To keep these functions, it’s important for dentures to fit comfortably and work properly. Sticking to a good denture hygiene routine is great, but sometimes you might notice that extra steps are needed to remove stains and bacteria.
Luckily, there are plenty of ways you can clean and whiten dentures to make sure your smile is always bright!
Not cleaning your dentures can lead to illness and infection. Dentures are covered in as much bacteria as natural teeth and some strains are worse than others. Some bacteria lead to gum inflammation while others lead to respiratory infections like pneumonia and MRSA.
Older patients especially need to keep their dentures clean.
You can whiten dentures with hydrogen peroxide easily by coating them with the solution and gently brushing them with a denture toothbrush.
Whitening and cleaning dentures with baking soda is a well-known remedy for stains and odor. Simply mix equal parts baking soda and water and then gently brush your dentures.
There are bleaching and whitening solutions just for dentures. Simply follow the package directions and soak them for a period of time. These cleaners are not to be confused with regular bleach, which can damage dentures. Sometimes using a non-abrasive denture cleaner is all it takes to whiten!
If you’re not getting the whitening results you want, talk to your dentist about professional denture cleaning, which should be done a couple times a year anyway. In just a few minutes your dentist can restore and whiten your dentures.
Keep your dentures clean and white with regular rinsing, daily brushing, night soaking, and regular dental visits. A regular denture hygiene routine will make sure you and your smile will stay happy and healthy.
