At Milestone Denture Clinic, we provide guidance on how to care for your dentures at home using current, denture-safe methods. Keeping dentures clean every day, and ideally after meals, helps reduce buildup that can lead to odor, discoloration, and irritation. Food particles and plaque can collect on dentures much like they do on natural teeth, and when mixed with saliva they can contribute to an acidic environment. Over time, this may affect how dentures look and feel, and it can also irritate the gum tissues.

A simple routine is to brush your dentures with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser. After brushing, rinse them thoroughly under warm water to remove any residue. As another option, dentures can be soaked in a denture cleaning solution. Many patients find it helpful to alternate methods, using brushing for daily cleaning and soaking regularly for a deeper clean.
