- Follow the instructions on the product label carefully.
- Hydrogen Peroxide:
- Soak your dentures in a solution of equal parts water and 3% hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- Baking Soda Paste:
- Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste.
- Gently brush the paste onto the stained areas of your dentures using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
