What type of denture adhesive is best for you?
Denture adhesives can improve comfort and give you confidence that your dentures (also known as false teeth) are held firmly in place. There are many different kinds of denture adhesives and it all comes down to personal preference when you’re deciding which is best for you.
What is the best denture adhesive?
Denture adhesive is available in a cream, strips, powder or liners, and you may want to take some time to find out which type you’re most comfortable with. As well as making your denture feel secure, a denture adhesive can help protect your mouth by helping to seal out food particles.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the denture adhesive options:
| Polident Product | What do you need to know? |
| Super Poligrip Original | This denture adhesive cream helps hold dentures tight for up to 12 hours. It improves bite foce, meaning your favourite 'tougher' foods can be chewed with ease. It's clinically proven to help seal out food, and helps prevent gum irritation. |
| Poligrip Gum Care | A denture adhesive cream formulated to provide all-day hold, help seal out food particles and help to prevent gum irritation. Complete with an ooze control tip, the adhesive goes on thinly and flat, to ensure an even layer on the surface of the denture. |
| Super Poligrip Flavour Free | This denture adhesive cream provides all-day hold, and is free of artificial colours and flavours. It also helps to seal out food particles, so you can be sure of a tighter, closer fit. |
| Super Poligrip Ultra Fresh | An adhesive cream that provides all-day hold, along with an ultra mint flavour to keep your mouth feeling fresh all day long. |
| Super Poligrip Powder | As an alternative to cream, denture powder offers all-day hold in a convinient form. With no colours or added flavours, a small sprinkle on your dentures will ensure they remain secure. |
Your comfort is important
It’s worth keeping in mind that your dentures should fit snugly, but many people may choose to use a denture adhesive for the extra peace of mind that their dentures are held securely to their gums. If your dentures fit comfortably in your mouth, you'll feel more confident to get on with enjoying every day.
Denture adhesives are not meant to be used for loose fitting dentures. If you have a denture that doesn’t fit as well as it should, please visit your dentist.
