COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT DENTURE ADHESIVES

What is denture adhesive?

Denture adhesives are designed to hold dentures in place all day to keep you feeling secure and comfortable. They also help to seal out food particles, so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.
 

How do denture adhesives work?

Polident Denture Adhesives contain two adhesive polymers, which expand as they absorb saliva. As they expand they interlock, creating a soft, flexible layer between your denture and gums for a comfortable fit and a strong hold and seal.
 

When can I start using denture adhesive?

Even well-fitted dentures can take a while to get used to, and using denture adhesive can help to achieve all-day comfort. Once your dentist is happy with the fit of your dentures, you can start using denture adhesives to help hold your dentures firmly in place and to help block out irritating food particles.
 

Why should I use denture adhesives?
