What does the cleansing solution remove from dentures?

The solution loosens deposits and odour on removable dentures or appliances. It is not toothpaste and must not be used inside the mouth.

How should you prepare the denture soaking solution?

Use a dedicated container and warm, not hot, water. Empty the solution, rinse the appliance completely, and clean your gums and mouth separately.

When should persistent denture problems be examined?

See a dentist for sores, looseness, cracks, sharp edges, or odour that persists after cleaning.

What should you ask about cleanser suitability and fit?

Ask whether the cleanser suits the appliance material, how often to soak it, and whether the denture needs adjustment.
