Here are a few facts about bacteria and living with dentures:
The bacteria coating your teeth, gums, and tongue release smelly gases, which are the cause of persistent bad breath. When your dentures are not properly cleaned, these odor-causing bacteria and food particles can lead to bad breath.
Plaque is that sticky deposit on your teeth that is formed when bacteria multiply in your mouth. If left to its own devices, it hardens into tartar on the surface of the dentures.
