  You won't need to whiten the teeth as much if you don't stain them with drinks such as coffee

  Avoid regularly consuming drinks and foods that will stain your teeth, such as coffee, red wine or red-based sauces.

• 2

  Gently brushing the dentures each night is vital to keeping white false teeth.

  Brush the false teeth every night in a circular motion with a regular toothbrush that has rounded bristles or a specific denture toothbrush in order to strip them of plaque and morsels of food.

  Whitening toothpastes aren't the only way to go

  Consult a dental professional if purchasing a specific brand of denture cleaner, but if a homemade solution is the path you decide to take, baking soda or dishwashing soap are popular, effective and frugal.

  Vinegar doesn't just preserve food, it can preserve false teeth

  Soak your false teeth in a concoction of vinegar and water every night when you go to bed in order to kill microorganisms that can grow on the surface of the dentures if left untreated.

  When in doubt, ask a dentist

  Visit a dentist and let her work on the dentures if all else fails. It is not as cost-effective, but there's a much better chance the false teeth will get to the white color you want.
