Dentures can be brushed with a tooth or denture brush. They can also be soaked in denture cleaning tablets and warm water. If the denture needs more serious cleaning, see your dentist.
You should see your dentist every six months and he will use a professional cleaning agent which removes stain and tartar. In between visits my favorite is Polident. Additionally don't forget to remove your dentures twice daily and brush them with toothpaste and a soft tooth brush.
Soak the denture in water with a denture cleanser tablet like Efferdent added. Also cleaning the denture with a hard denture brush (available at any store) with toothpaste will help eliminate stains and keep the denture looking fresh Gregori M.
