What makes Polident® such
a good denture cleanser? How does it work?
Polident® with Poli-Vescent Power is a powerful cleanser and number one in
America! Polident works to clean dentures more thoroughly than brushing alone.
The chemical and mechanical cleaning action works when powerful cleaning and
antibacterial agents are released. Polident® Denture Cleansers kill 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria while removing tough stains such as tea, coffee, blueberry and tobacco stains!

What is the difference between brushing dentures and
soaking dentures?
Brushing dentures with a toothbrush and toothpaste will remove plaque and food
particles stuck to it through mechanical action. However, soaking dentures in a
cleaning solution such as Polident® kills the germs that can cause denture odor
and provides effective removal of odor-causing food particles and plaque in
cracks and crevices that may not be accessible with a toothbrush. Therefore,
brushing and soaking dentures every day is more effective than brushing alone. Polident®
Cleans Where Brushing Can Miss!

tablets be used?

remove and rinse dentures with running water. For clean, minty fresh dentures,
use Polident® at least once a day. Your denture or partial may be safely soaked

Can any of the Polident®
Denture Cleanser tablets be used overnight?
Yes, it is safe to use any of the Polident® formulas overnight. Dentists
recommend that patients remove their denture at night. When not in your mouth,
it is important to keep your denture in water so that they don't dry out. Many people take advantage of the fact that their denture will be in water overnight and add a Polident® tablet for a convenient way to keep it denture clean and fresh.
