I got my partial dentures 5 days ago. Can I clean partial dentures with a regular toothbrush?

Yes, but not the same one for your own teeth. You should have a denture only brush and use regular handsoap. Toothpaste will roughen up the pink acrylic and it would hold more debris.
Yes, you can brush your partial with a regular toothbrush. There are brushes made for partials and dentures. The bristles are firmer and longer, so they clean a little better than a conventional manual brush. Most partials are made of a slightly porous plastic, so don't use toothpaste as some pastes are too abrasive. Try to use products specifically for partials and dentures. I hope this helps.
