Secure Waterproof Denture Adhesive - 40g

Product Information

Further, ill-fitting dentures can cause an uneven bite, subjecting the appliance to pressure it isn’t designed to withstand, thus making the denture more subject to breakage. Secure Waterproof Denture Adhesive by Dentex is both zinc-free and flavor-free, and it can deliver up to 12 hours of holding power. However, if you find you are using denture adhesive on a permanent basis, it is time to see your prosthetist about a denture reline or even new dentures. Main ingredients: Miglyol (derived from Glycerin), Solution of Polyvinyl-acetate (non water-soluble ingredient, used as the base of chewing gums), Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose (derived from tree bark).

Unfortunately, dentures cannot counter the natural bone structures which change over time, so eventually a new denture will be needed. You will never be able to remove all of the denture adhesive from your soft liner without destroying your soft liner. A denture that won’t stay in place with a very small amount of adhesive doesn’t fit correctly and needs to be replaced.

Those with sensitive gums may experience a mild burning or tingling sensation when they first put the dentures in.

Some patients experienced zinc toxicity due to using massive quantities of adhesives for years instead of having new dentures made that fit correctly. Manufacturers of denture adhesives originally added zinc oxide to their products to improve adhesion.For best results apply dots of the adhesive at intervals along edges and surfaces of the denture which come into contact with your mouth. We understand there are times when the last thing you want is to take a chance your dentures might slip.

If you are interested in finding the strongest denture adhesive for a little extra security, begin with a powder adhesive.Adhesive is not usually necessary when your dentures are custom made by an experienced denture prosthetist or if you have implant-retained dentures which are firmly secured in place, but they may be helpful for less well-fitted dentures. Firm all-day hold and extra comfort, there's nothing quite like SECURE Adhesive Strips for the lower denture problems. A fundamental problem with most denture adhesives is that they are water-soluble and are diluted and swallowed when users eat or drink, as well as by natural saliva production. Once you understand your bone structure and gums change naturally over time, you will realize you were never meant to wear the same dentures forever.

If the only way to keep your dentures in place is with the use of massive amounts of adhesive, your dentures do not fit properly and you need to have them replaced. Apply SECURE to your dentures in strips or series of dots, making sure that the adhesive is not too close to the edge of the denture. If your upper dentures have become loose, liquids and air can get beneath your dentures because there is space.

If you’re considering a more permanent teeth replacement solution, book a dental implant consultation with Dr Dave Norcross at our East Victoria Park clinic or our Kelmscott clinic on 1300 108 133. There is one range of adhesives that we have found that is not water soluble and appears to provide considerably better retention than other leading brands. If your dentures move around with a small amount of denture adhesive, they do not fit properly and must be replaced. Removing all old adhesive before applying a new amount to clean dentures is essential for general hygiene and to get the best seal. Your soft liners were created to help ensure your denture adapts to the exact shape of your gums while offering plenty of cushion.
