Poligrip Denture Adhesive, Fixative Cream to Secure Dentures, False Teeth & Partials, Flavour Free, 70 g, Pack of 6

Product Information

Results have shown that Poligrip denture fixatives have the ability to reduce food entrapment by 74% versus no fixatives in well-fitting dentures. 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. It helps seal out irritating food particles, provides extra-strong all-day hold (compared vs. no adhesive used) in every direction, and has a fresh mint flavour. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Applying too much adhesive will cause it to spread up and over the side of your denture. It will not help the denture stay in place. If you have adhesive overflowing the edge of your denture, you are using too much.

Generally, there is little research comparing how good they are, and the studies which do exist focus on complete dentures. That said, most creams, gels and pastes will be suitable for partial dentures. Some pre-cut adhesive strips can be trimmed down and used on partial dentures too. Poligrip Flavour Free Denture Adhesive is a denture adhesive that helps hold dentures tight for up to 12 hours and doesn’t contain zinc, artificial flavours, or colours.You need to moisten the seal before applying it to your dentures and then fitting them in your mouth.

This can help to reduce gum irritation and studies have shown that when using a denture fixative, such as Poligrip, patients can experience increased levels of confidence, denture comfort and chewing efficiency (Gendreau L et al, 2011). This paste is designed to last for a day at a time, if used correctly. By following the instructions, the tube should last you a couple of months.If you are using a denture adhesive and get a sore mouth or ulcers, stop using the product and see a dental professional. To help provide support to patients living with dentures, GSK is offering free patient samples of Poligrip flavour-free denture fixative to dental professionals. Some denture adhesives last all day, whilst others need to be replaced during the day. Follow the instructions and find what works for you.
