What should you do if a resident has dentures that need cleaning?

Question

Accepted Answer

Rinse them under cool running water and use a soft brush, then store in denture solution when not in use. Dentures should be cleaned gently with cool water and a soft brush to prevent damage, then stored in denture solution. Hot water can warp dentures. A separate, soft brush should be used. Leaving dentures in constantly prevents proper cleaning and oral hygiene.
