My husband has never used denture cleaner. Instead he has always brushed the denture with regular toothpaste and a soft bristle brush, then let them soak in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and Listerine. This doesn't seem to hurt the soft reline material. Hope this helps.

this stuff sets up like a semi-soft plastic,so it fills any dips or irregularities in the denture, if that's not your problem then this probably wont help you I'm sorry to say....I agree with you on the O-T-C junk I've never found a useful 'glue' either, GOOD LUCK, Bill S.

Well, interestingly enough I am a dentist(33 years). I found that one can place Benecol in mouth and soften with your saliva till it almost melted away. I would suggest that for a denture patient. Hope this helps.

I am not certain, but I treat it the same I do toothpaste. I make sure that I get the majority of it out of my mouth so I do not ingest it. Personally, I usually do not rinse my mouth out directly after brushing/cleaning my tongue. I could be wrong, but I feel like the ingredients meant to prevent bacteria build-up in the mouth are largely rinsed out if I do that.

I soak the denture in hot tap water for a couple mins...not boiling water...just hot tap water. Then start to peel from the back or anywhere it has start to loosen up. Peel until you cant anymore, then soak again in hot tap water. It takes several times but it will eventually all come out. I have used it for years and that always seems to work fine for me.

I use warm water, tooth paste and a tooth brush to remove denture adhesive, then soak dentures in a denture cleaning tablet and warm water. I Would like to know if anyone has a method to keep lower denture secure while eating!

I heat the denture up under hot water and cut it out with sharp knife. I also use a dremel and grind it out sometimes, it does have a tendescy to get very hard after a long time say 4-6 months.

I just use a denture care brush I got from a local store and warm water. Then soak them in Polident Denture Cleaner for 5 minutes. That's it. Never had much ofa hard time getting it off. If it came off too easily it would not be of much benefit in keeping you dentures in.

I use hot water and a denture brush and a lot of elbow grease and there is always some residue left; even after soaking in smoker's Polydent tabs. How do I clean my dentures to get rid of the residue?

I think I get a better fit with the Prosoft and it is for sure a lot cheaper. I have had my denture relined one time but since then I have used Prosoft. I can usually go about 5 or 6 months before I have to put new Prosoft in. As to it being better than having them relined that would be a matter of opinion but for me I think using the Prosoft is better.

There is a removable tray inside the cleaner that you insert your dentures into, and then you fill with tap water. You put the tray back inside the cleaner, close the lid, and then press a button to start the cleaning cycle. It uses ultraviolet light to clean, so no chemicals are needed.

Once a week or so I mix some white vinegar and hot water and swish it around. It really doesn't get that dirty inside as our dog drinks all day long so it's always being refilled. If it got really grimy I'd fill it and put in 1-2 denture cleaning tabs and let it sit then rinse well.

I have only used the Perma Soft and Denturite products. So I can't give you an answer. Sorry!!

Relining is simple, just follow the instructions, however if your denture is broken or cracked that needs to be repaired first as the relining will not hold until the repairs are made. Been there, done that!

Julie, What i did for myself and members of my family was pretty easy. I just heated up some water(certainly not boiling), and when they bacamevery soft I put them in my mouth and molded them. Basically I placed them on my upper teeth, and then sucked until they were good and snug and molded to my teeth. Then I waited a minute, took them out gently and placed them in cold, cold cold, water. They came out perfect for myself and others. Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll certainly help if I can. Happy New Year!! Pete G

Hi Arthur, To answer your question: In the box you should have two stir sticks, two small containers of powder, and two small vials of liquid. Use one stir stick, one container of powder, and one of the vial for each denture. Pour the liquid into the container of powder, using the stir stick, mix the mixture until it's the same consistency of honey. Pour this mixture into your dentures and clamp down for six minutes. The taste is awful. Take out your dentures and suck them for 20 minutes in ice cold water. This hardens the liner. If your dentures are still a little "tacky" then sock them for a little longer in cold water. Then you can clean up the dentures. I hope this helps!!!

I bought a denture brush and use it with warm water to get the Secure off the denture. If you use a lot of it, then you will need something likea small Popsicle stick to remove the majority of it before using the brush.
