How to Care for Your Dentures
Share
Just like natural teeth, dentures need proper care to stay clean, comfortable, and long-lasting. Whether you're new to dentures or looking to improve your routine, a consistent cleaning regimen can make all the difference—not just in hygiene, but in how your dentures fit and feel throughout the day.
In this guide, we’ll break down how to care for your dentures and highlight trusted tools like Secure® Denture Cleaning Tablets and Secure® Denture Adhesive to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile—day after day.
Why Denture Care Is So Important
Dentures might not be natural teeth, but they still collect plaque, food particles, and bacteria that can affect your oral health. Poor denture hygiene can lead to:
- Bad breath
- Gum irritation or infections
- Staining and discoloration
- Shorter denture lifespan
- Loose fit due to buildup
A clean denture isn’t just about appearance—it’s about comfort, confidence, and overall oral wellness.
Daily Denture Care Routine (Step-by-Step)
Here’s how to care for your dentures effectively every day:
✅ Step 1: Remove and Rinse
After meals and before bed, remove your dentures and gently rinse them under lukewarm water to remove loose food particles. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material.
✅ Step 2: Use a Dedicated Denture Cleanser
Don’t use regular toothpaste—it’s too abrasive and can scratch denture surfaces.
Instead, use Secure® Denture Cleanser Tablets. They’re specially formulated to:
- Kill 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria
- Remove stains, plaque, and buildup
- Help maintain a fresh, clean feel all day
- Work in just 15 minutes or overnight for deep cleaning
Simply drop one tablet into warm water, soak your dentures, and let Secure® do the rest.
✅ Step 3: Brush Gently
Use a soft-bristle brush or denture-specific brush to gently clean all surfaces of your dentures. Don’t forget to clean your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth too.
✅ Step 4: Store Properly
Always store dentures in clean water or a denture solution when not wearing them—this helps prevent drying, warping, and cracking.
✅ Step 5: Apply Denture Adhesive for a Secure Fit
Once your dentures are clean and dry, apply Secure® Denture Adhesive Cream or Secure® Denture Adhesive Strips before reinserting. This ensures:
- All-day hold without slipping
- Zinc-free, waterproof formula
- Protection against food particles sneaking underneath
- Greater comfort during eating and speaking
Remember: Secure® Adhesive works best on clean, dry dentures. That’s why regular cleansing with Secure® Cleanser is key to getting the best hold possible.
Weekly Deep Clean Tip
At least once a week, give your dentures a deep soak with Secure® Denture Cleanser overnight. This helps remove tough stains, neutralize odor, and refresh your dentures so they look and feel like new.
