How to Clean Waxy Film From Dentures

If your choppers are feeling a little less than clean, get them extra sparkly with vinegar. It's an easy and natural way to get rid of the film that can build up on your dentures from plaque which may not get removed with everyday cleaning. This plaque can form the hard mineral buildup known as tartar. Dentures require more cleaning and maintenance than natural teeth, so take extra good care of your dentures so they stay fresh, white and free of sticky film.
