Tooth whitening toothpastes, gels and other products can help give you a bright and beautiful smile. Unfortunately, these products cannot be used on false teeth, as they can ruin the false teeth and even damage your gums. There are several other methods you can use to clean your false teeth and get them back to their original color.
Instructions
1. Start by whitening your teeth before you get your false teeth. When you get false teeth, your dentist will match the color of the false teeth to the teeth in your mouth. By getting your teeth whitened before you get your false teeth, you can ensure that the false teeth will be a bright, white tone.
2. Brush your false teeth with baking soda at the end of each day. Baking soda removes both stains and offending odors from false teeth. Get the brushes of your toothbrush wet enough so that baking soda sticks to the bristles. Dip the end of your brush into the baking soda and gently brush your false teeth. Do this for about 60 to 90 seconds. Use warm water to rinse your false teeth once you've finished.
3. Use vinegar to clean your false teeth as another option. Using a concentration of 60 percent water and 40 percent vinegar, soak your false teeth for anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes. Remove the teeth from the concentration and dip the end of your toothbrush into it. Then, brush your false teeth for 60 to 90 seconds. Rinse the teeth thoroughly in warm water to remove the vinegar. Do this every night to keep your false teeth clean and white.
4. Soak your false teeth every night in a combination of water and a mild dish soap as a third option. It may seem like a "no-brainer" but this soap is an easy way to remove the stains from your false teeth. After a week or so, you will even notice your teeth looking a little brighter. Place no more than a pea-size amount of dish soap into 1/2 cup of warm water. Let the teeth soak for about 5 to 10 minutes and then brush them in the same way as if you were using vinegar. Rinse the teeth a few times to make sure there is no soap left on them.
5. Use a denture cleaner (Efferdent, for example) and a denture brush to clean your teeth at least once a day to remove stains. Do this each night after you have done one of the methods listed in Steps 2 through 4, as a way to thoroughly clean your false teeth.
