GUMS AND HYGIENE

Cleaning and caring for dentures

Clean, well-maintained dentures are more comfortable to wear and reduce the build-up of plaque, food debris and staining.

Daily care

Remove and rinse dentures after eating where practical, and clean them with an appropriate brush and non-abrasive cleaner. Follow the instructions provided for soaking.

Protecting your mouth

Continue cleaning your gums, tongue and any remaining teeth. If your denture rubs, feels loose or changes fit, arrange an assessment rather than adjusting it yourself.

Practical steps to remember

  • Handle dentures over a soft surface
  • Follow your dentist’s advice on overnight wear
  • Report sore areas or persistent looseness

This guide offers general information and cannot replace advice from a dental professional who has assessed your individual circumstances.
