I’ve heard that clasp dentures can last 5–10 years with good care. What’s the best routine for cleaning them daily, and are there special rinses or toothpaste to avoid?

Clasp dentures can indeed last 5–10 years if cared for properly. The best routine is to remove and rinse them after meals, brush gently with a soft denture brush, and avoid abrasive toothpaste that may damage the surface. For detailed guidance on maintaining clasp dentures, see https://villagedentalmedicine.com/clasp-...rosthesis/. Special non-abrasive cleaners or mild rinses are recommended, while hot water should be avoided to prevent warping.

Thanks for the tips! What about overnight storage? Should I soak them in water or special solutions to extend their life and avoid odor?

Soaking overnight in water or a mild denture solution helps maintain shape and cleanliness. Never use hot water, as this can warp your dentures.
