I'm going to Mexico on vacation soon, specifically to Cozumel. I've been there before so I know we will be provided with a bottle of purified water in the bathroom. I recently had to have dentures fitted and I have found that warm water is best for cleaning the denture adhesive off the false teeth. When I go to Cozumel am I ok to use the warm tap water to clean the dentures as long as I rinse them with mouthwash afterwards? Or should I stick to the purified water provided. I don't want to get any nasty tummy bugs, managed to avoid them last time we were there

It all depends on where you STAY! If you're staying at a budget property, then yes, use bottled water. If you're staying at a resort or high end hotel, then most likely all the water is ran through a filtration system. You should simply ask the hotel staff. When I send my clients (I own a travel agency) to Mexico, it is normally to all-inclusive resorts. At these types of properties they have filtration and purification systems for even the tap water. So in these cases, there are no problems. In all of the times I have went down to these resorts I recommend, I have used and drank the water, and it is fine. The best thing to do is just ask the staff/manager if the water is filtrated or purified.

Hope this helps you and others.

you were lucky last time. i would avoid drinking the water or using the water even to clean your dentures. warm the bottled water in a microwave. i got sick when i went to mexico. i used the tap water to brush my teeth. i also ate everything in sight, including the food @ the outdoor market places. i was loving it for a couple days and then it was over. i was drinking pepto for a week AFTER i came home. better safe than sorry!
