It's easy to start - and maintain - a daily care routine.

	1. Soak your dentures or partials in a container of warm water with a Polident® effervescent tablet.
	2. Brush your dentures or partials with the Polident solution and a soft denture brush. Brushing after soaking helps to ensure the removal of debris and plaque that soaking alone can miss. Remember not to use toothpaste, which can actually scratch your dentures. See, dentures are softer than natural teeth, so the abrasives in toothpaste can scratch dentures and partials. These scratches provide places for bacteria to attach and grow, which can cause bad breath. See why toothpaste is great for teeth and not for dentures.
	3. Rinse your dentures well with running water before you insert them. Remember to handle your dentures over a sink half-filled with water. This will help protect your dentures if you drop them. And remember to discard the used Polident solution.

Deep cleaning with Polident will help remove tough stains, kill 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria, and effectively remove plaque and odor-causing film. See all the Polident products. While you're cleaning your dentures, don't forget to clean your remaining teeth and gums. Good oral care is still a vital part of your daily routine.

Other important things to remember when cleaning your dentures:

• Store your dentures in water to prevent them from drying out.
• Make sure you remember to rinse and dry off your dentures before you put them back in.
• Do not place tablets or tablet solution in mouth.
