After Brushing with Dentures

Some people with partial or complete dentures may need to spit multiple times because saliva and debris might gather and become uncomfortable.   

• After brushing, ask the person to spit the excess toothpaste in the sink or in a small paper cup.
• Thoroughly rinse the denture with plain water before putting it back in the person’s mouth.
• Ensure the mouth and face of the person served is wiped dry and the person is comfortable.
