What can I use to brighten my dentures?

What can I use to brighten my dentures??

That is a good question. You can not brighten your dentures like you can whiten your teeth. If you have food and plaque stains on the denture, I would first recommend taking the denture to your dentist to have them clean the denture in the ultrasonic cleaner and polish any stain out. If you can not go to the dentist, a denture toothpaste and or polident soaking tablets will be the safest to clean the denture. If you have any metal in the denture you do not want to use clorox as it will corrode the metal. However if the denture is made of acrlyic you can soak it in clorox bleach for 5-10 minutes safely then rinse it well. Good luck
