slightly camping awkward question

slightly camping awkward question


Postby AlisonFox66 » Thu Mar 07, 2013 6:00 pm

Anyone got any hints on keeping dentures clean whilst wild-camping

It is just a single front tooth denture so not full dentures

So far managed camping by filling a small plastic tub with water from campsite washrooms (and securing the lid)
However i was wondering if stream water would be safe for soaking a tooth overnight

happy to drink water from fresh streams but am not sure whether such water is safe for dentures

Personally I'd add a water purification tablet to the water (same as what I do when refiling from streams, burns etc)

just to be on the safe side

depends where you are.

generally in the wilds of Scotland i wouldn't bother with purification. you can always boil some if you are worried.
