Denture Adhesives FAQs

What are the main differences between denture creams, powders, and strips?

Denture creams offer a strong, flexible hold that seals out food, providing cushioning and all-day grip. Powders give a lighter, more natural feel by creating suction, often requiring more frequent reapplication. Strips provide a mess-free, consistent hold with pre-measured application, ideal for those seeking precision and minimal mess, such as the Seabond Original Lower Denture Fixatives.

How do I choose the right denture adhesive for me?

Consider your comfort preferences, the strength of hold you need, and ease of application. Creams are popular for strong hold and cushioning (e.g., Fixodent Plus Unbeatable Bite Cream), strips for cleanliness and consistency, and powders for a lighter, natural feel. You may need to try a few types to find what works best for your individual needs. We offer a variety of options including flavour-free choices like Poligrip Flavour Free Denture Fixative Cream.

How often should I apply denture adhesive?

Most denture adhesives are designed for once-daily application. However, factors like eating, drinking, and the specific product can influence how long the hold lasts. If you notice your dentures feeling loose, you may need to reapply. Always follow the specific instructions on your product's packaging.

Can denture adhesives cause any side effects?

Side effects are generally rare but can include irritation to the gums or mouth, changes in taste, or allergic reactions. Some adhesives may contain zinc, which in excessive amounts can lead to health issues. Weldricks Pharmacy offers zinc-free options for your peace of mind. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

How do I properly clean my dentures after using adhesive?

After removing your dentures, clean them thoroughly with a soft brush and denture cleaner to remove any adhesive residue and food particles. Rinse them under running water. It's also important to gently clean your gums to remove any remaining adhesive and maintain good oral hygiene.

What is the best adhesive for lower dentures?

The 'best' adhesive for lower dentures often comes down to personal preference for hold and comfort. Many users find creams like Fixodent Plus or Poligrip Max Hold and Seal provide excellent strong, all-day hold. Seabond Original Lower Denture Fixatives are also a popular choice for their unique strip format, offering a secure, mess-free fit specifically designed for lower dentures.

Why choose an unflavored denture cream?

An unflavored denture cream is ideal if you prefer to avoid any artificial taste or scent that might interfere with your food and drink. These creams offer the same reliable hold and comfort without impacting your palate, ensuring your meals are enjoyed as they should be. Many of our popular brands offer excellent unflavored options.

How can I achieve the strongest hold with my denture adhesive?

To achieve the strongest hold, start with clean, dry dentures and apply the adhesive sparingly as directed by the product instructions. Distribute it evenly and press your dentures firmly into place. Using a product specifically marketed as 'max hold' or 'strong hold,' such as Poligrip Max Hold and Seal or Fixodent Plus Unbeatable Bite Cream, will also help.

Which denture fixative is best for sensitive gums?

If you have sensitive gums, look for denture fixatives that offer cushioning and are free from strong flavours or irritants. Many creams are formulated to be gentle, providing a secure fit while minimizing discomfort. Options like Poligrip Flavour Free often work well for sensitive users due to their mild formulation.

Maintaining good denture hygiene is crucial for your overall oral health and the longevity of your dentures. Alongside our range of denture adhesives, Weldricks Pharmacy also offers a variety of denture care products, including cleansers and brushes, to help you keep your dentures fresh and clean. If you have any concerns about your dentures or oral health, please consult your dentist or a healthcare professional.
