The toothpaste and mouthwash that you have in your home may be too abrasive for your dentures, causing them to wear over time. Further, those bleaching products that are on the market can permanently discolor your dentures.
Today we will be discussing a few ideas for cleaning your dentures naturally.
Consider trying a vinegar solution as an easy and effective way to disinfect and clean your dentures naturally. The acid in the vinegar can help to dissolve tartar. To make this solution on your own at home, combine equal parts of white distilled vinegar and warm water. Place your dentures in the solution and let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or as long as overnight for the best results. Prior to re-inserting them into your mouth, make sure to rinse them well.
Since baking soda is a common ingredient in traditional toothpaste you can use it to help loosen stubborn debris from your teeth. You can mix your own natural solution by combining water with 2 tsp. of baking soda. Add just enough water to create your desired consistency. You can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently and thoroughly scrub away debris from your dentures. This method is very effective and can be used to clean your dentures naturally every day.
