Cleaning and Care **

DAILY CLEANING

• Brush gently: Use a soft-bristled denture brush or soft toothbrush to gently clean the liner daily, being careful around the edges.
• Avoid abrasive products: Do not use toothpaste, abrasive cleaners, or strong soaps, as they can damage the liner.
  • Only use soft, antibacterial dish soap (liquid)
  • Do not use flavored or scented soaps
  • Do not use soaps with heavy dyes and colors
• Rinse with cool water: After brushing, rinse the dentures thoroughly under cool or lukewarm running water.
• Soak with care: To keep the liner from drying out, soak your dentures in water or a non-abrasive denture cleaner solution as recommended by your dentist. Avoid overnight soaking in effervescent cleaners, which can damage the material.
• Avoid high heat: Do not use hot or boiling water, as high temperatures can warp the liner material.
• Store properly: Always store dentures in water or a denture solution when not in your mouth. 

Dandy recommends cleaning your dentures daily before and after every use.  Immediately after removal, use warm water (not to exceed 45°C/113°F) and dishwashing soap to remove remaining saliva and debris from the device.

Do not use:

Avoid immersing the denture in, or cleaning it with, any of the following substances: sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach), hydrogen peroxide, mouthwash, or alcohol products. Using these can lead to discoloration and damage to the material.

Storage instructions

• When not in use, store final dentures in a clean, dry place. Avoid exposing the dentures to excessive heat or pressure, which may cause warping or other damage.
• Final dentures are designed to last for several years with proper care and maintenance. Patients should contact their treating dentist/practice for evaluation and repair if liners become damaged or lose their fit.

Additional Information

• If the patient experiences any adverse events, such as pain or irritation, they should discontinue use and contact your practice immediately.
• Liners typically come with a limited warranty, which may vary depending on the manufacturer.
• Smoking with dentures possessing liners inserted can cause discoloration.

Disposal

• Denture disposal typically involves handling it as a regulated biohazardous waste or general waste, often through specialized handlers for incineration or secure landfill disposal. 
• Always avoid putting them in regular trash without checking local rules.
• Biohazard/Infectious Waste: Treat used or unclaimed dentures as biohazardous due to saliva/blood; use red bags and authorized carriers.
• Incineration: A common method for final destruction.
• Metal Recovery: If the denture has precious metals (gold/silver), return it to a dental lab or scrap refiner for recycling, as it can be profitable and prevents pollution.
• Confidentiality: Redact or destroy patient info on lab boxes and bases before disposal.
