Dur­ing use, bac­te­r­i­al plaque forms on den­tures — this pro­vokes inflam­ma­tion of the oral mucosa. You can clean the struc­tures with the help of spe­cial tablets, but their selec­tion should be han­dled by a doc­tor who will take into account the indi­vid­ual char­ac­ter­is­tics of the patient^one.

It is rec­om­mend­ed to use den­ture clean­ing tablets at least 2–3 times a week. In addi­tion to tablets, it is nec­es­sary to clean the den­ture with a soft tooth­brush and low-abra­sive tooth­paste.

Ordi­nary pastes and pow­ders are not suit­able for the care of remov­able den­tures, as they can scratch their sur­face. In this case, you need to use tablets spe­cial­ly designed for this.

How to choose denture cleaning tablets

The choice of tablets for clean­ing a remov­able den­ture is best left to the den­tist. Means dif­fer in com­po­si­tion, aro­ma, some of them have a whiten­ing effect, oth­ers — antibac­te­r­i­al.

- Almost all tablets of pop­u­lar brands on the mar­ket such as Core­ga, Pro­te­fix, Fit­ty­dent, Laca­lut and oth­ers con­tain approx­i­mate­ly the same basic com­po­nents that have a whiten­ing and dis­in­fect­ing effect. If you look close­ly at the pack­ag­ing, you will def­i­nite­ly find sodi­um perbo­rate in the com­po­si­tion. Some man­u­fac­tur­ers add cit­ric acid and mint. Car­bon­ates are manda­to­ry — they help the tablets dis­solve in water with an effer­ves­cent effect.

Some of the man­u­fac­tur­ers make the tablets col­ored — as a rule, a blue tint is cho­sen, which allows you to visu­al­ly whiten the den­tures even more. Also in the com­po­si­tion, you can find enzymes or active oxy­gen, which car­ry out dis­in­fec­tion.

Since the com­po­si­tion of effer­ves­cent tablets is sim­i­lar, the price varies — tablets from some man­u­fac­tur­ers are more expen­sive, oth­ers are cheap­er. The choice can be made by each buy­er on their own, giv­ing pref­er­ence to the brand that they like best, — says Can­di­date of Med­ical Sci­ences, den­tist-ortho­pe­dist, implan­tol­o­gist, gnathol­o­gist Vladimir Losev.

Expert reviews on denture cleaning tablets

- Top 3 best tablets for clean­ing remov­able den­tures: Core­ga Tabs Den­tal White (Core­ga), Pro­te­fix (Pro­te­fix), Laca­lut dent (Laka­lut Dent). All of these prod­ucts are suc­cess­ful­ly used by our patients. Please note that you must read the instruc­tions before use. All tablets have a dif­fer­ent time of action, and it is impor­tant to observe it. Aller­gic reac­tions and indi­vid­ual intol­er­ance to the com­po­nents of the tablets are pos­si­ble, notes den­tist Maria Deriglazo­va.

— For my patients, I rec­om­mend Pro­te­fix den­ture clean­er, which includes active oxy­gen. The well-deserved pop­u­lar­i­ty is eas­i­ly explained if you know how the prod­uct works: it qual­i­ta­tive­ly removes all impu­ri­ties (soft and hard plaque), bright­ens the sur­face of the teeth (after smok­ing and fre­quent cof­fee drink­ing), elim­i­nates bad breath, which is due to pep­per­mint and ordi­nary, includ­ed in the com­po­si­tion of tablets, says max­illo­fa­cial sur­geon, implant den­tist, ortho­pe­dist Ilya Korobkov.

- In my opin­ion, the qual­i­ty of effer­ves­cent tablets on the mar­ket today is approx­i­mate­ly the same. There are more famous brands, such as Core­ga — almost every­one knows him. Often it is with Core­ga that acquain­tance with effer­ves­cent tablets for clean­ing den­tures begins. But this does not mean that you should not try oth­er options: among our patients there are those who like Pro­te­fix more, and there are those who use Laca­lut tablets. Every­one choos­es what seems to him more effec­tive. Chief Physi­cian of the Megas­tom Clin­ic Vladimir Losev.
