Oral Health Foundation publishes updated denture cleaning and adhesive guidelines

Our take – DentaDenta UV Sterilsers

The Oral Health Foundation has published updated guidelines on denture cleaning and adhesives, aimed at helping health professionals give patients clear and consistent advice. For denture wearers in the UK, the practical message is that keeping dentures clean between uses matters, and that questions about adhesives or fit should go to a dentist. At DentaDenta we make a compact UV-C steriliser case designed to clean dentures between uses without chemicals, which can fit alongside a routine that your dentist recommends. The summary we have covers the guidance on cleaning, adhesives and when to seek professional help, so we would not read anything more into it than that. If you wear dentures, it is worth asking your dentist to explain the updated advice in the context of your own mouth and dentures. Good oral hygiene is about regular habits, and the same applies to other removable appliances such as retainers, night guards and clear aligners, which many of our customers also clean. Whatever you use, follow your dentist or orthodontist's guidance on care and replacement. We simply aim to make between-use cleaning easier.
