It will take a while, and it will be messy. If you don't want to use a denture brush to clean your dentures, you can also use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner or an electric toothbrush (without toothpaste).
Dentures should be cleaned out of the mouth not with a WaterPik; proper brushing of the dentures in proper sterilization is required.
Well, water can clean some, but with pain, use washing on GUM PAROEX.
Yes you may use a water pick to help get in between all the small areas around the teeth. I would also suggest using a small brush and denture cleaner also.
It's best to take the denture out of the mouth and clean the denture. Be careful to do it over a sink so it doesn't drop on the floor and crack accidentally.

Waterpik is ideal for patients with natural teeth, but you can occasionally use it to clean the teeth on your dentures. To clean dentures use overnight cleansing Pills like polident.
