'Couldn't really say what kind of dentures they are, Roony. Full top and bottom, of course; plastic with porcelain teeth, I'm told. Best I can tell ya. Lost a tooth a few years ago and they charged me double the going rate to replace the tooth with a perfect match. Since they are almost fifty years old, they probably differ greatly from the sets made today but since they fit perfectly, you can bet I'm not going to go get another set any time soon. As a matter of fact, the old temporaries still fit as well as the old final, finished set so I really have two utile sets.
I'll try all suggestions at least once. By the way, where does one find 'clay'?
Thanks.

If your on a paleo diet, it doesnt really matter if you clean them or not, just clear it of debris
But if it contains plastic, the bacteria in your mouth will detiorate it, as all plastics are liquids & leech chemicals, even food grade plastics
You can prevent this easily, by using some lemon or vinegar, as suggested earlier, with something granular as a gentle scourer, im not sure clay is the correct medium, as clay reacts to plastics
Some sort of dried herbs, or oats, would work much better, as they dont react to plastics etc.
Basically create an anerobic environment the bacteria cant feed on, like the lemon, vinegar, peroxide etc
The only problem is, some bacteria will always get at the plastic, its probably best to try & get fully porcelain, or none toxic dentures
Or even better, make your own denture moulds
