Wernets Ultra Denture Fixative Powder - 40 g

Product Information

All denture adhesive ingredients are approved as safe for use in your mouth. However, some people may be allergic to certain ingredients, and there are risks if the adhesives are not used as instructed. The main ingredient that people worry about is zinc; poisoning can occur if the body is exposed to too much zinc, and there have also been reports of it leading to anaemia and neurological symptoms.

Fixodent has fewer options available which helps to narrow down the choice if you are feeling overwhelmed. More is not necessarily better when determining how much adhesive powder or adhesive paste to use. A general guide is to use enough adhesive cream or paste without having it ooze from beneath the denture onto your mouth tissues. Some denture wearers report gastric disruptions and disrupted bowel function after swallowing excess fixative. This is not an issue for denture adhesive strips, pads or powder.

Research suggests denture adhesives should only be used to improve function of dentures that are properly fitted [2] Kumar PR, Shajahan PA, Mathew J, Koruthu A, Aravind P, Ahammed MF. Denture Adhesives in Prosthodontics: An Overview. J Int Oral Health. 2015;7(Suppl 1):93-95. . In fact, these are the conditions in which they work best. But if dentures don’t fit well, denture adhesives aren’t a proper substitute for getting fitted for a new pair. Adhesive Strips and Cushions: Denture adhesive strips and cushions are a relatively new concept, but they have some benefits over traditional methods. They come in pre-cut shapes (either thin strips or a denture-shaped cushion) containing a firm adhesive material. You just need to trim them down and wet them before application. They are easy to apply, more or less mess-free, and meant for all-day use, just like the other types of adhesive. With that said, Poligrip may be best for people who want a secure hold that lasts all day. They have the best denture fixing cream in the market. Poligrip is also zinc-free. This product is also 100% flavor-free, so it won’t change the taste of foods. Unlike most denture adhesives, this product also does not contain petroleum jelly, mineral oil, or artificial colors or dyes.

If you wear a traditional partial denture and are having problems with the fit, you may want to consider a flexible denture next time you get a replacement. These – as the name suggests – are made from a flexible material that fits around the exact contours of the mouth and should stay in place without adhesive. These dentures are also known as Valpast partial dentures because they are the most well-known type of flexible denture available. How can you keep dentures in place without glue?
