Where to Store Dentures. Dentures can become warped if they dry out or are placed in hot water. When you are not wearing them, your dentures should always be kept in room temperature water or in a denture solution recommended by your dentist. Never wrap your dentures in a paper towel.

How do you store dentures when not wearing them?

Soak it in a glass of clean water when you are not wearing it. Storing it in a damp cloth (in a plastic bag) is another effective solution. However, always use cold or lukewarm water instead of hot, boiling water to soak dentures.

Should dentures be stored wet or dry?

Most types of dentures need to stay moist to keep their shape. Place the dentures in water or a mild denture-soaking solution overnight. Check with your dentist about properly storing your dentures overnight.
