Does wearing dentures make your breath stink?
Wearing dentures is not the cause of bad breath; however, not cleansing them properly and regularly can cause the dentures to harbor bacteria through its accumulation daily. Your dentures are most likely made of an acrylic material which is porous and just like teeth when the bacteria is not removed it can be hardened from the minerals in one's saliva and carry an odor. In addition, cleansing of one's tongue and mouth is also important for one's oral health. Do the following: -When you remove the dentures, immediately clean them with a soft toothbrush. -Soak them in clean water when not in use. -Use a denture cleaner that is nonabrasive. -Use a tongue scraper to cleanse your tongue. You should have considerable improvement in your breath. If bad breath continues, visit your dentist because a professional cleansing of the dentures may be necessary for a "fresh" start!
