Yes, denture cleaning supplies are eligible for purchase with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).
Why Are Denture Cleaning Supplies FSA/HSA Eligible?
Denture cleaning supplies are used to maintain the hygiene and function of dentures, which are classified as medical devices. According to IRS Code Section 213(d), products used to clean, maintain, or support the use of a medical device are considered eligible medical expenses.
Cleaning dentures regularly is essential for preventing oral infections, removing plaque and bacteria, and preserving the integrity of the dental appliance. These supplies are not cosmetic—they serve a medical purpose in the daily care of individuals with full or partial dentures.
FSA- and HSA-eligible denture cleaning supplies include:
Denture cleansers and effervescent cleaning tablets (e.g., Polident®, Efferdent®)
Antibacterial soaking solutions
Cleansing pastes or creams specifically formulated for dentures
Specialized denture cleaning brushes or ultrasonic cleaning devices
Portable cleaning kits labeled for denture care
All items must be marketed and intended for cleaning or maintaining dentures—not general oral hygiene—to qualify.
What’s Not Covered?
General oral care products like standard toothpaste, mouthwash, or toothbrushes designed for natural teeth are not eligible. Products marketed for cosmetic purposes, such as whitening treatments or breath fresheners, are also not eligible unless part of a medically necessary denture care regimen.
Denture storage cases or holders may also be considered non-eligible unless bundled with a cleaning kit labeled for medical device care.
How to Buy Denture Cleaning Supplies with Your FSA or HSA
You can purchase denture cleaning supplies directly at buyFSA.com using your FSA or HSA card. Every item listed on buyFSA.com is FSA- and HSA-eligible, so there’s no guesswork or reimbursement hassle.
If purchasing elsewhere:

Save your receipt in case your plan administrator requests documentation
Avoid general-use or cosmetic oral care items that are not tied to denture hygiene
