Milky Dentures or Shortage of Professionals

Two days ago one of my patients told me that he discovered a new amazing way to clean his dentures. The educating article (I will post the link here when he forwards it to me) based on a deep research NOT! suggests that there’s no better way to clean your dentures than to soak them in …. milk. Yes, milk! The one you pour on your cereal and add to your coffee! Ok, you might say, it cannot be that bad; maybe there is a positive aspect to it. Let me explain something. Our mouths are full of anaerobic bacteria, bacteria that do not live or grow in the presence of oxygen. In addition, on a microscopic level, the material used to make dentures has a porous structure, so any bacteria that thrive in a sweet or acid environment will spread faster than lightning if, instead of using —— , you soak your dentures in milk. So how ethical it is to give advice if you either don’t know what you are talking about or are purposely offering a harmful recommendation? A recent article by NY Times
