Unlike toothpaste, Polident® cleans without scratching.

Toothpaste is great for teeth, but not for dentures. Toothpaste contains many ingredients, including fluoride, detergents and abrasives. Abrasives are too harsh for denture material, which is notably softer than tooth enamel.

  • Toothpaste is abrasive and can scratch denture material.
  • Using toothpaste instead of Polident on dentures leads to rougher denture surfaces.
    Rough surfaces encourage more bacterial growth.
  • Bacteria can grow in scratches, which can cause bad breath.
  • Polident is not abrasive and kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria.
Polident reduces bacteria exposure
