When assisting with oral hygiene for a resident with dentures, what is the correct procedure?

Question

Accepted Answer

Soak in cool to lukewarm water and brush gently with a soft brush. Cool to lukewarm water and a soft denture brush is correct—hot water can warp dentures. Dentures should be soaked and cleaned daily. A separate denture brush (not the resident's toothbrush) should be used. Dentures should be stored in solution overnight, not left to air dry, as they can warp and crack.
