- Remove your denture at night and store carefully in water or a cleaning agent
- Brush your dentures with an ordinary toothbrush twice a day using denture cream or soap and water (do NOT use toothpaste)
- Rinse your dentures after meals
- If you have natural teeth is it extremely important to keep them clean as they are at a higher risk of decay and gum disease because you wear a denture - see the Adult care page
- When using a denture cleaning agent such as sterident, follow the instructions carefully - normally soaking for 2 or 3 nights per week is sufficient
