max seal: HOW A DENTURE ADHESIVE CAN HELP SOLVE COMMON DENTURE ISSUES

The good news is: a) you are not alone in going through them; and b) a simple solution like the right denture adhesive may often help you manage these problems. Here’s a quick look at four common denture issues followed by details of how a secure denture adhesive like Polident Max Seal could help.

FOOD PARTICLE BUILD-UP

When food particles become trapped in between your dentures and your gums, it can cause irritation and soreness. It may even make you nervous about smiling, laughing or speaking.
 

DIFFICULTY CHEWING

You may experience some discomfort or displacement of your dentures when eating, especially when first getting used to them and/or when consuming tough or chewy foods. Sometimes, this will improve as you become more accustomed to wearing them and as any initial swelling in your mouth reduces. In other cases, further action will be required in consultation with your dentist.
 

DENTURE SLIPPAGE/WOBBLE

This can occur due to shrinking of the jaws over time, a perfectly natural process that happens following tooth loss/extraction. Smaller jaws mean a smaller surface for your dentures to attach to, which may make them more prone to move or slip during common actions like eating and speaking. Consult your dentist for advice regarding denture slippage/wobble.
 

SPEECH ISSUES

Dentures can turn conversation from a pleasure into a pain – whether it’s due to problems forming certain sounds or words, discomfort or concerns about your dentures slipping out of place. You can find more information and advice about speaking clearly and confidently with dentures here.
