How to use a denture brush
Clean dentures with a denture brush, cool water, and a non-abrasive cleanser, then rinse them thoroughly.
The short answer
Use a denture brush with cool water and a non-abrasive cleanser to clean every surface, then rinse the denture before wearing it.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
A denture brush has shaped bristles or a larger handle for cleaning acrylic denture bases, artificial teeth, clasps, and tissue-facing surfaces. Denture acrylic can scratch, and hot water can distort some denture materials.
What can you do next?
Remove the denture over a basin partly filled with water or a folded towel. Rinse it, brush the outer and inner surfaces with a denture cleanser, clean around clasps and tooth grooves, rinse thoroughly, and clean your tongue and gums with a soft toothbrush. Follow the dentist’s soaking instructions.
When should you seek dental care?
Book an adjustment if the denture causes a sore spot, slips, clicks, cracks, or makes chewing difficult. Seek prompt care for persistent mouth ulcers, bleeding, swelling, or a denture that cannot be removed.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask which cleanser and soaking method suit the denture material. Ask whether the fit needs adjustment, how to clean the gums and remaining teeth, and when the denture should be checked.
