      Place a small amount of denture cleanser onto the denture brush and gently scrub the denture surfaces with the cleanser to remove superficial stains. Rinse the dentures under warm water.

    • 3

      Brush your gums and mouth with a soft gum brush, then rinse your mouth. Insert the dentures back into your mouth.

    • 4

      Remove the dentures before you go to bed and brush them again with the denture cleanser.

      Fill the glass with warm water and add the denture soak tablets to the water. Place your dentures into the glass and allow them to soak overnight.
