  Use a soft denture brush to remove stains.

  Clean your dentures as often as you can. Dentures should be brushed the same way you would regular teeth, and use a soft denture brush to get into the crevices to remove stubborn stains. Use an over-the-counter denture polish to remove stubborn stains. Soak your dentures each night in a denture solution to keep your teeth bright. Never use toothpaste to clean your dentures. Toothpaste contains products that can break down the dentures and cause them damage says dentalfind.com.
