Hello,
No you cannot. Toothpaste will scratch your denture and allow bacteria to buildup in it. Only use products made for dentures this includes a denture brush and not a toothbrush. Hope this helps. ~ Dr. Cronin

Yes you can.
There are many options for cleaning dentures. I will be glad to go over many of them with you over the phone or when I see you next. The important thing is that you continue to clean your dentures and mouth regularly, as well as continuing regular checkups for your oral health.
Yes
Regular toothpaste tends to be quite abrasive on dentures. It would be best to use plain water and a drop of dish detergent with a denture brush to clean them.
