Yes they do work. Help freshen things up and removed any deposits on the denture. Basically if you take them out and brush them with toothpaste and a brush it would be cheaper and just as effective. They sit in your mouth and get plaque and bateria on them just like teeth do and brushing works to helps to get rid of any odors.

Yeah bt. I also know they freshen and remove deposits from the gums and teeth, but do they really remove germs and plaques too? I do take them out and brush them twice everyday but that doesnt seem to be enough thats why I ask about these denture cleaners like polident and efferdnt. :?:

I use polident 5-minute anti-bacterial denture cleanser, polident overnight and even their toothpaste..It's really effective, it really cleans fast, removes stains, leaves dentures really fresh and kill germs of odor-causing bacteria..I suggest, polident!

Yes the anti-bacterial works well to have fresh breath. I use the polident tablets in soaking my dentures. But I use the fresh n' brite of efferdent. And poligrip for my adhesives. Also to have a good breath try brushing your tounge with soft bristle toothbrush with an ordinary toothpaste and also brush your gums to, this will prevent gum sores.

For denture toothpaste, it's advisable to use the polident dentu-creme or polident dentu-gel because it has a low abrasion level that won't scratch denture acrylic, also kills the germs that can cause denture odor and cleans fast and removes stains..

Advisable??? Hmmm I don't think so??? Although your dentu-creme works for you doesnt mean it work for all of us? I had used dentu-creme before it works for me too but I still prefer the fresh n' brite. What I like about polident is thier soaking tablets.

It is advisable because of low abrasion level of it, so it won't harm the dentures..But i'm not telling that all those who wear denture should go through with polident toothpaste, it depends of what you really want to use & your dentist told you.. :)

Ahummmm.... Well I agree with that, but some of the denture cleaners have low abrasion level too. Well I have polident tablets with me that what I only use in the polident products. :)

Yeah, then choose of what really works for you..That is really good & very well to use..Like in my case, I do not use all of the products of polident, I only use what product really works for my denture..;)

Becy is right, choose what really works for you. For me I usually use efferdent and polident but when my brands is out of stocks I use mild clorox but I avoid to use clorox frequently because it will damage my gums.
