How should I clean my natural gums and palate underneath full dentures?

Clinical Answer & Guidance

Every night after removing your dentures, gently massage your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth using a soft-bristled toothbrush and warm water. This stimulates blood circulation and removes bacteria. Denturaa provides detailed oral hygiene booklets at your initial appointment. Visit our booking page to book a free consultation.
