Ok.. Im also new with my dentures but it
don't have any odors. Here's my routine
first I brush my dentures with a denture
toothpaste then I soak my dentures on a
mint flavored tablet (i use any products
like polident, efferdent and generics from
walmart) overnight. Brush your gums with
a tootpaste using soft bristle toothbrush
brush it gently and brush your tounge
too..
Hope this can help you. Good luck :d :d
:d

Thats too much work (maybe thats the
reason why of having bad odor.. Too
lazy)! Lol, you use any products of
denture cleaner? You dont stick into one
brand?

Don't have denture odor, but my dentures
have stain 'cuz of smoking (but I quit
smoking now)..I think it's ok to try
different brands but not that often, 2
brands will do..I use two brand of
cleanser now, the efferdent plus &
polident anti-bacterial denture cleanser,
it works for me..But I need a cleanser for
removing the stain cause by smoking..Any
suggestion?

I use the product that works for me. For
example I use the fres n' brite in
brushing my dentures, then for soaking I
use the polident. Then on my travels I
use whatever I see on walmart. I don't
really have any particular brands. As
long as the product works for me I get it.

Right now, i'm using the polident
overnight (my friend suggested me this
stuff) after brushing my teeth using
fresh'n brite denture toothpaste to really
cleans tough stains all night..'bout
smoking, haven't tried it yet but some of
my friends uses the polident smokers and I
think it works too.. :)

The reason why I dont have stain, I brush
my denture everytime I eat food so the
crammed in particles will be removed, the
only thing that I complain is having some
bad odors, I didnt know that I have to
soak my dentures overnight. Maybe thats
the reason why of having a little bad
odor. :oops:

Ok! Try to soak it everynight, whatever
denture cleanser your using, and brush it
2/3 times a day..I think it woyuld help to
prevent denture odor..I suggest to use
dentu-creme or dentu-gel of polident for
your toothpaste 'cuz it has a low abrasion
level that won't scratch denture acrylic..

Well I use the fresh n' brite more in
brushing my dentures. Although I use the
polident tablets for soaking my dents
overnight.. And also the poligrip strips
when im on my travel.. Well if I ran out
I just go the nearest store and buy some
generic denture cleaner.

I don't know what's the buzz about this
polident. Do you people only use
polident? Why don't you try the other
denture cleaners out there.. Well you
know they all work the same, except for
the products with mexican labels on it
they didnt work for me . :p well I hope
this is not some kind of you know what.
Polident is a good product, I agree so
don't overtalk about it ok.. (you know
what I mean.. :wink: ).

polident for doing its jos so well.. :d

Nope, I use other brands too, but I dont
use denture cleaner without brand coz
usually most of them is not that working.
If I dont have polident I use efferdent
most specially when im out of town.

I agree that this is just a turn back
compliment to polident products for doing
its job so well..But i'm not using all of
their products, I just use their
toothpaste..I uses efferdent plus for my
cleanser but polident cleanser is also
good & effective.. :wink:

Yeah, maybe thats one of the reason why
most of us use polident. Anyway im using
2(two) major brands and that is polident
and efferdent. I tried clorox for almost
2 weeks and I feel that my gums become
thinner :( ... And I feel really wasted.

Ok ok... Let us stop talking about
polident so much we know that is works and
it is ok.. This thread is already like a
commercial add for polident and efferdent
ok. Let us just focus on the thread
question..
If you smoke, smoking will really leave
stain on your dentues because of nicotine
if this happens imediately soak your
dentures on any of the product said in
this forum it will work just fine. Soak
it overnight, if the stain is still in
there go to your dentist and they are the
one who knows how to clean it. It will
just look good as new.

All right, all right! Well, if the
denture cleanser really can't make it, you
have to go to the dentist for much
better..Anyway, it's also the
responsibility of the dentist.. :d

Buy polident tablets or any denture
cleaners you use and put them in a denture
bath using warm water. You can buy
special denture bath containers at the
drug store. Also he needs to brush and
rinse them before putting them back in his
mouth. Never sleep with them in place
overnight. In the morning, he should
rinse them and put them back in place for
the day. Once he starts this routine he
will find that the dentures are clean all
the time. Change the denture cleaner
solution once a week or whenever
necessary. Any container with a tight
fitting lid can serve as a bath container.
He could use a margarine container or
tupperware container etc.
I have two partials and this procedure
works very well. There are some denture
cleaners for partials available at the
drug store. If you still need help call
the denturist where he got the dentures
for more assistance.
