Denture Breath Warns Dentists and Public Health
Dentists warn that odor from plates and bridges, dubbed denture breath, stems from a mucin-scum invisible to the eye. It can harbor decay bacteria, affect health, and spoil comfort, as ordinary brushing fails to remove it. Polident cleans and purifies dentures without brushing, removing scum, tarnish, stain, and odor.
