Denture cleaning tips

never wrap your dentures in a paper towel or
napkin because they could easily get thrown
away
Never use household products to clean
dentures other than mild dish soap or liquid
hand soap
Always keep your dentures out of reach from
children and pets; kids love to play with them
and dogs love to chew them up.
