A study found dentures that are not properly cleaned may lead to the accumulation of harmful bacteria that can cause pneumonia.

Researchers analyzed denture samples from hospitalized patients with and without pneumonia, looking specifically for pneumonia-causing microbes. The study found a greater than twentyfold increase in respiratory pathogens. The team clarified the study does not indicate wearing dentures causes pneumonia, but shows there are potentially harmful microbes on dentures that increase risk, stressing the importance of cleaning dentures thoroughly.

For tips on keeping your dentures clean, talk to a registered dental hygienist and read the ODHA factsheet on Dentures and Oral Health https://odha.on.ca/mm-S.
