Dentures and adhesive? |
I am a fairly new denture wearer. I am currently using "Fixodent" brand denture adhesive and in the past have used "Polygrip" brand, with both brands I have the same reoccuring problem. They seem to work fine untill 3/4 of the way through the day. By my 3rd meal they appear to lose their grip and I find my dentures slipping to put it mildly. Am I supposed to apply the adhesive more than one time during the day ?? Am I using it incorrectly, I have tried various amounts, all to no avail. For my patients, I advise the following: Reapplying denture adhesive during the day is not uncommon. Did the dentist advise you that you will need to have your dentures relined in the first 4-6 months? If you had an immediate denture placed (had teeth pulled and the denture installed within days) the tissues shrink and relining the denture is required for a good fit. This relined denture should then fit well for a long time. Some dentists include the reline in the initial cost of the dentures, but many do not. |
