How do you keep edentures(false teeth) clean??
Question: I have a set of edentures(false teeth). Apart from brushing my teeth, how do I keep it clean? For eg, when I want to go to bed I take it off. Should I put it in a solution or what?
Answers: With dentures removed, rinse oral tissues at least once daily. At this time, all surfaces of the denture should be thoroughly cleaned. A special denture brush is recommend for this purpose, harsh abrasives and toothpaste should be avoided. During cleaning, the denture is carefully held over a sink half filled with cool water. The denture must not be soaked in either hot water or a strong solution such as undiluted bleach b/c these will damage the denture. As a precaution to minimize damage if the denture is dropped, place a wash cloth at the bottom of the sink. When dentures are not in the mouth, they must be stored in a moist, airtight container to prevent drying and warpage.
i say put it in some kind of solution
use Polident. it's a denture cleaning tablet. you put your denture in a container with water and drop the tablet in.
