Did you know that denture plaque contains pathogenic microbes? Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans can occur on a denture if the wearer does not have a consistent cleaning regime with the right products.

Dentures should be cleaned 2 times a day and in some cases after a meal to avoid the build up of denture plaque and bacteria. Having a good denture cleaning routine will also help battle bad breath.
