If you want to whiten your dentures, there are several ways you can go about doing so.

The right denture care can go a long way toward keeping the attachment in good condition. And some everyday household items can help you whiten them, as well. Read on to learn more about how to keep the teeth in good condition.

Handling the dentures correctly

No matter the type of denture, it is critical to remove them to clean them properly. That keeps the mouth looking better. To avoid stains, patients should soak the dentures in denture cleaner often. Follow the directions on the package for the intended results. It is also vital to handle the teeth carefully. That includes holding them over a towel on the counter to avoid shattering them if dropped.

Hydrogen peroxide

There are many whitening properties in hydrogen peroxide. Plus, it is easy to find at many grocery and drug stores. To use the substance, the patient only needs to coat the denture with it. Then the patient can scrub the teeth using a toothbrush. It removes stains and restores the former whiteness.

Finding a denture bleach

Patients can find agents designed to whiten the dentures. These are useful after cleaning the teeth thoroughly. It is not hard to find them at grocery stores and other locations. Remember that it is not the same as standard bleach, which might damage the teeth. Patients can follow the package instructions to whiten their dentures.

Baking soda or vinegar

Baking soda is a standard whitening product for both natural and false teeth. It is not hard to find it in the store, and many people have it at home. If the false teeth have odors, baking soda is a great idea for removing them. All a patient has to do is mix some baking soda and water to form a paste. Then that can go on the denture for a while.

White vinegar is another way of whitening the teeth and sanitizing them. It removes bacteria and gets rid of any odors. Patients can soak the teeth in the vinegar overnight and use a toothbrush on them in the morning. It is vital to rinse the false teeth well before wearing them to remove the vinegar smell.

Regular salt

Salt is easy to find, and it is not hard to care for the dentures with it. All a patient has to do is put some salt on a wet toothbrush and use it on the teeth. It can disinfect the teeth, and patients can also soak the teeth in saltwater. Doing that overnight can clean the teeth well.

Choose the right dentures today

Regular dental visits are still essential, as well. The dentist can tell patients how often to come in. Then the dentures can get cleaned and examined for potential breakage. The dentist will also see if the teeth fit correctly to avoid discomfort. The dentist might also look at the interior of the patient’s mouth to determine its healthiness. Making an appointment today is your first step.
