Product Information

The steri-strips should then be peeled off gently or soaked off, unless you have been instructed otherwise. These denture adhesive strips from Poligrip work in a similar way to Seadent, but they come in thin strips. They can be used for full upper and lower dentures as well as partials. You may need to cut them down to avoid overlapping the strips, but any excess can be kept for another time. The same care instructions apply: clean and dry your partial denture before applying denture adhesive, and be sure to rinse it after use to remove any residual glue. All denture adhesive ingredients are approved as safe for use in your mouth. However, some people may be allergic to certain ingredients, and there are risks if the adhesives are not used as instructed. The main ingredient that people worry about is zinc; poisoning can occur if the body is exposed to too much zinc, and there have also been reports of it leading to anaemia and neurological symptoms. What a godsend this product is. No nasty additives or worrisome ingredients. Worked wonders for my partial denture. Finally I could eat safely again and not worry about sneezing the denture out. Occasionally I would need a second application later in the day, but not too often.” -Marilyn

If you wear a traditional partial denture and are having problems with the fit, you may want to consider a flexible denture next time you get a replacement. These – as the name suggests – are made from a flexible material that fits around the exact contours of the mouth and should stay in place without adhesive. These dentures are also known as Valpast partial dentures because they are the most well-known type of flexible denture available. How can you keep dentures in place without glue?Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product.

Cheyne Child Development: while you wait leaflet - Pre-School Age (Hammersmith and Fulham children) Note that denture adhesive is not a solution for badly fitting dentures. Although it may help keep them in place, it's really better to see your dentist if you feel like your dentures don't fit properly. What are the different types of denture adhesive? Whether you choose strips, powder, gel or cream, all denture adhesives work in more or less the same way. Denture adhesives work by firstly, forming a strong bond with your dentures. And, secondly, they adhere to your gums to enhance the natural suction that holds your dentures in place.

Cushion Grip is a thermoplastic denture adhesive, and it's designed to add a soft layer to your dentures for greater comfort, at the same time providing a more secure fit. The tube needs to be placed in hot water before use, to soften the adhesive enough to apply to your dentures. It should stay in place for up to 4 days, after which you should place your dentures in warm water for 10-20 minutes before peeling off the plastic. You should keep the wound dry otherwise the steri-strips may fall off too early thus delaying wound healing After a certain time as directed by your clinician, gently peel off or soak off the steristrips in warm water.Fortunately, most denture adhesives in the UK are now zinc-free. In fact, only one of the mainstream brands featured below (Fixodent) still contains zinc. It is perfectly safe when used as instructed, but if you're reapplying it several times a day, you may be putting yourself at risk. Adhesive Cream and Gel: Denture adhesive creams and gels are the most widely available and diverse option. To use denture cream, you apply a small amount to the undersurface of the dentures before placing them in your mouth and applying pressure to get a good seal. Denture adhesive cream offers a strong hold and comes in a range of flavours and textures so suit every taste. One downside is that there can be some unpleasant oozing if you use too much, or apply it in the wrong position on the dentures. Steri-Strips are sometimes a better option than regular stitches because they don’t need to be sewn into the skin and can be easily removed when the wound heals. Aside from a zinc-free formula, the cost of the denture adhesive is another important factor to consider. Price doesn't necessarily correlate to quality or effectiveness, so don't assume that you have to spend more to get a product that works well. On the other hand, if you have had little success with cheaper brands, it may be worth trying something different.
