Denture Products

Something NOT to get your teeth into!!!

Advantages: Smells nice & minty
Disadvantages: Doesn't work, dentures come loose, paste leaks into mouth

...am writing a review about Fixodent Denture Cream, through the personal experiences of my nan and not my own, as I am not (obviously) a denture wearer myself yet! I feel I have to share this with you, as nan's experience with this product has not been a positive one. Nan has lived with us since her stroke at the end of last year and it's only recently that she's started to socialise out of the house with her friends again. She has recently started ...
...my dad bought her some Fixodent Denture Cream from our local chemist. He paid £2.99 for it, but I've seen it since in Boots for £2.49 and Tesco for £2.35, so I know you can get it cheaper. It comes in a blue 40ml tube and looks a lot like toothpaste till you read the box! You can get it in different flavours, including Original, Fresh and Neutral. Nan likes a nice minty flavour, so dad got her the Original variety and nan seemed pleased when she ...

Review of Fixodent Denture Adhesive Cream

Denture Tablets

Advantages: Leaves fresh minty taste in mouth
Disadvantages: Takes approx. 15 mins to soak in morning

...on the use of the Steradent Tablets. I myself use these every day. They are an extremely good make and after an adequate soak in the morning, I find my Dentures feel much fresher and cleaner and there is certainly no 'nasty' taste left in the mouth except that of a Minty taste. I obviously go through the rest of the hygiene procedure necessary to clean my mouth, gums and obviously dentures first thing in the morning. But as with the Toothpaste, Mouthwash ...
...consequently very happy with the Steradent Tablets, and will carry on using them. I also hope that people with new Dentures, or about to have new Dentures fitted will feel happy about buying this particular product. I must also point out that these Steradent tablets do have different flavours on sale. I always buy the 'Fresh' one, which as I say, always leaves a nice, fresh, minty taste in my mouth and lasts for hours. ...

Review of Steradent Denture Tablets

Poligrip ULTRA!

Advantages: No more whistling
Disadvantages: Nothing like as good as the original pearlies

ULTRA! What, your'e saying! Ultra - this stuff goes on one of the unspeakable places in the human body - more like a review of the body snatchers - even grown men shudder at the thought of THOSE places. I'm talking gums - not fruit gums but tooth gums. The image conjours up old ladies and gents in rest homes with little mugs of suspicious looking glass mugs on their bedsides. Each one whisked off by a dilligent care assistant to be cleaned and returned ...
...your own teeth back! What if you don't ? Never fear Polygrip's here! (Ultra that is!) This stuff is relatively fantastic - I can't think of better way to stay away from the rest home than this. Lets get a bit more sensible - I lost some teeth playing football(the beautiful game?) when I was a nipper and they never grew back - still waiting. I had a denture that rubbed, cracked the enamel. I ended up with very few teeth on the top. Originally the ...

Review of PoliGrip Denture Adhesive

Wobbly Gnashers and Pink Goo

Advantages: None found yet!
Disadvantages: Didn't work!

Dentures – ugh!! Those things your granny and granddad wear right?! Not necessarily – I have a small upper plate with five dentures on after having several extractions due to a severe dental infection last year. Missing teeth doesn’t bother me on the vanity level, I thought some falsies would help me with the small obstacle of eating! Not so, as yet, I’m still adjusting. On the whole, after a couple of adjustments, my plate ...
...However, it does still rock a little when under the pressure of eating. “What shall I do?” I thought, “get a fixative” I answered myself. I was loath to spend a lot of money on something I knew nothing about and had no experience of so I bought Superdrugs’ own brand denture Fixative Cream for the princely sum of £1.39 – it was the cheapest I could find! It looks it too – a violent sicky pink old-fashioned ...
