Yes, you can, but you still need to remove your dentures daily to clean them and your oral tissues.
No. Please remove your denture during the rinse.
Yes you can. Rinsing with the denture in doesn't remove any food particles that can be trapped under the denture. If there is an odor that you are trying to cover up you might need to have them professionally cleaned. Also if the dentures are older than 8 years old; 1. the fit is not too great anymore 2. the growth of plaque on the dentures is quite significant you might need a new set.
Hi,
Remove the denture, then rinse so the mouthwash can be effective on the gum tissue.

Yes, but suggest to take out denture. Clean denture before put back in.
Keep it separate
Yes, during the day you can rinse with them for fresh breath, however, that’s not a substitute to remove them daily/ nightly to clean the dentures and your gums thoroughly.
Yes that shouldn't be a problem at all, You still need to make sure you take them out and clean them properly though.
Yes, you can rinse with mouthwash with dentures in; however, it can be a little more effective at killing bacteria if you remove the dentures to rinse your mouth and then rinse your dentures outside of your mouth.
Hello,
Yes, you can rinse with mouthwash with the dentures in, but it may be better to rinse without do that the mouthwash covers all the surfaces. Then you can brush the dentures clean.

Hello,
Generally, it is better to remove the dentures before brushing and flossing your teeth and rinsing your mouth. The dentures are supposed to be cleaned with regular or denture toothbrush and placed in the cleaning and refreshing solution. Of course, occasionally, when it is not possible to remove the dentures, for example, when you are not at home, you could rinse your mouth with the dentures in but it will not be as effective.

Yes, you can, if needed. However, the tissue under the denture will be cleaned easier with the rinse if the dentures are out. Also, if you wear adhesive, the rinse could dissolve some of it. I wouldn’t use peroxide on the dentures because it can discolor them.
Yes absolutely you can! However, it may be more effective to take your dentures out, clean them, and rinse your mouth without the dentures in place. Using mouthwash with the dentures in will rinse the dentures but the purpose of the wash is to get it on your tissue to prevent bad breath. But, either way is just fine :)
Doesn’t make sense to do it that way
