Daily care

Daily cleaning

To keep your flexible partial looking and feeling like new, follow these recommendations:

  • Continue to brush your natural teeth and gums as directed by your dentist.
  • Clean your appliance daily. Rinse it under warm running water for approximately 10–30 seconds to remove food particles.
  • Brush your appliance with a soft denture brush using water only, then rinse again.
  • Place your appliance in a denture cleaner for at least 15 minutes daily. When possible, keep it in water or a denture solution when you are not wearing it.
  • Do not use bleach, toothpaste, or similar cleaning products; these may scratch or discolor the surface of your appliance.
