Denture wearers have you ever thought about how to keep bacteria from growing on your dentures? Turns out, the humble avocado, that tasty addition to many a salad or toast, might be a game-changer. It's important to know dentures made from heat-polymerized acrylic resin (HPA) have tiny pores and cracks on their surface.

These tiny flaws act like tiny hotels for bacteria. Bacteria love to gather and form a slimy layer called a biofilm which can be difficult to remove.

Guess what? Avocado seeds can help with your denture problems.

Put simply, the extracts from avocado seeds possibly may have the power to stop these biofilms from growing. It makes one wonder why we haven't seen more studies about this that can back it up!

Avocado seeds have been studied for other purposes. Not many have been studied for their use on dentures.

Wouldn't it be great to have some kind of natural solution to clean microbes that're so tough?   We are surrounded by so many natural  solutions to simple problems.  This is just one example.

Don't forget to properly care for your dentures to avoid bacterial buildup. How to do that? Good oral hygiene and regular maintenance are key. Just as with natural teeth, regular checkups and careful maintenance are necessary to prevent serious dental issues.
