5 Essential Denture Care Tips
Expert advice from Denturist Darryl Audette
Proper denture care makes a real difference in your comfort, confidence, and oral health. Here are the five tips Denturist Darryl Audette recommends to every denture wearer.
1. Clean Your Dentures Daily
Remove and rinse your dentures after every meal. Use a professional-strength cleaner like Renew Denture Cleaner to eliminate bacteria, plaque, and stains that regular brushing misses. Never use regular toothpaste — it's too abrasive.
2. Soak Overnight
Dentures need to stay moist to keep their shape. Soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution or plain water. Avoid hot water, which can warp acrylic.
3. Handle With Care
Dentures are surprisingly fragile. Always clean them over a folded towel or basin of water. A single drop can crack or chip an appliance that costs hundreds to repair.
4. See Your Denturist Regularly
Even without natural teeth, your gums and jawbone change over time. Annual check-ups help catch fit issues early — before they become painful sores or loose-denture problems.
5. Give Your Mouth a Rest
Remove your dentures for at least 6–8 hours each day (typically overnight). This allows your gum tissue to recover and stay healthy.
