Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2005cleaning dentures in public
Are there any tools or appliances which would make it easier to clean my dentures in a public restroom? I find that in mid-afternoon I need to replace the denture paste and do not have a private place to do it other than a private stall in the public restroom. Any suggestions? > Are there any tools or appliances which would make it easier to clean > my dentures in a public restroom?

Have you tried using a tooth brush and a bit of dishwashing soap? After all, dentures are made of acrylics... so dishwashing liquid soap is IMO, ideal. Perhaps ask yourself why you need denture paste in the first place?. If the denture molds well to your gums and hard palate, you perhaps shouldn't need the stuff...

How about some disposable wet-naps ? -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com I think the coarseness of the wash-cloth would help. But, a throw-away wipe would help, too.

Little packets of 2x2 gauze could be useful, disposable too ! Just don't like the thought of carrying something like that around with me. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com You buy the cheap wash-cloths in bulk at Sam's Club or Costco and cut it into small strips. Throw away after use. Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S. Troy, Michigan, USA ....................................................

Throw away after use. Wait a minute ,,,,,,, oh okay. The denture ... I forgot. >You buy the cheap wash-cloths in bulk at Sam's Club or Costco and cut it >into small strips. Throw away after use. Better yet, get the denture relined and the adhesive cleanup will likely be a thing of the past. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >>I think the coarseness of the wash-cloth would help.

The best ,,,,,,,, if you are inside the stall, is there T.P.? >Just don't like the thought of carrying something like that >around with me. >A clean washcloth in a zip-lock bag would help get the paste off. Yup, or your shirtsleeve ..... Instead of a paste try the Seabond products or the wax pads (can't remember the name but in the same locations as the pastes) Easy to use and easy to clean.
