Fixodent Denture Adhesive

Fixodent denture adhesives are available in the form of creams, powders, and pads which ensure your dentures stay in place. They help in creating a seal to prevent elements from getting trapped between your dentures and gums. Typically, well-fitted and properly-maintained dentures don't require you to use denture adhesives. However, if shrinkage happens in the bone structure of your mouth, dentures become loose. Thus, denture adhesives are used to give relief from loosening dentures temporarily.

Fixodent denture adhesive cream comes in a tube and is directly applied to wet dentures that connect with the bone tissue. The denture adhesives work the best when your dentures fit properly. Here's the step-by-step process in using Fixodent denture adhesive cream:

• Make sure your dentures are cleaned and dried thoroughly before applying Fixodent denture adhesive cream.

• Apply the cream directly to your dentures in a series of small strips. Don't apply it close to the edge of the dentures.

• Press the dentures in place with pressure, and hold. If the adhesive applied oozes out, it means you used too much.

• Using denture adhesive once a day should be sufficient.

• Regular visits to the dentist are crucial in ensuring that the dentures fit your mouth correctly. Otherwise, it may result in discomfort and damage to your mouth over time.

Unlike the cream form, the adhesive powder can cover the dentures' entire surface that connects to the bone tissue. It is applied by sprinkling the adhesive powder on the wet dentures. Although adhesive cream may have higher strength, the powder form is easier to use and manipulate during the application. Fixodent denture adhesive powder can provide a hold that lasts throughout the day.
