Are dentures durable (against scratches and nicks)?
Dentures are made of acrylic. The denture acrylic is much softer than your natural teeth, so: • Do not use ordinary toothpaste on your dentures. Ordinary toothpaste often contains abrasives. These abrasives are ideal for cleaning your natural teeth but scratch dentures. These scratches become places where bacteria can attach and grow, and bacteria can lead to denture odor. • Use a soft denture brush or soft toothbrush. Unlike toothpaste, Polident MicroClean is non-abrasive.
