Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
As far as any harm to you is concerned through the air freshner  by your denture or getting some in your mouth ,then you can rest assured that nothing would happen to you,because of very few droplets going in your system
However,in general,it is better to avoid this air freshner because of various chemicals it contains and they may cause harm to you in longer run.
A  NGO by name of EWG ( environment working group ) states that it contains 87 chemicals and one should avoid using it.You can go to various sites on Internet where people advise you to refrain from it for longterm use.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
