What is a good solvent for the stuff you put in your dentures to hold them in place .something you can drink and swish that would dissolve the pink goop.

Dentist here, I don’t know. Never tried to dissolve it. I always just wipe it out of patients dentures with gauze. That being said, many patients use way too much. A very thin coat is all that is needed, some folks fill the denture up.

Sorry I couldn’t offer more help.
