“Can coconut oil clean dentures?”
I am a 60 year old male. I want to know if coconut oil can clean dentures?

I have never heard of that. Couple drops of bleach in a cup of water works great.
There is no clinical evidence that coconut oil can clean dentures. Rinsing with coconut oil is called "oil pulling" and is done by many people as an antibacterial rinse.
Coconut oil is good for clearing blocked salivary ducts, providing an antimicrobial solution to the mouth, but not for cleaning dentures.
