Fixodent neutral denture fixative

Advantages: tasteless, holds well, cushioning
Disadvantages: gunk left behind after can be a bit unpleasant sometimes

...THis is a review for fixodent denture cream neutral. This was the sample given to me by my dentist after having an immediate temporary upper denture. I am completely new to dentures and have not used anything like this before. SO how do you use it. Wash and clean denture and dry it. I put small dabs of adhesive in the required places, palate, gum area etc. Then pop denture in mouth, press for a minute and avoid food and drink for 5 mins. This fixative has held for me for over 8 hours. It is tasteless as it is the neutral version which I prefer. I find the flavoured ones off putting as you can be eating food and then get a taste of bland mint, not nice. It also cushions the denture which is important in the early days. To remove ease out the denture, soaking mouth in warm water if required. There may be some residue...

Review of Fixodent Denture Adhesive Cream

Something NOT to get your teeth into!!!

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

...them into place. Sure enough, about half an hour later the same thing happened again. This stuff is supposed to act like an adhesive and 'grip' your dentures to your gums and also the box and tube states it's supposed to work at keeping your teeth in place between eight to twelve hours. Nan's teeth were sliding around inside her mouth and the pink paste was still coming out in little bits inside her mouth and she said it was making her feel a bit sick. I felt really sorry for her and as it was too late to go out to buy a different brand, nan just said she'd be okay and go to Bingo without any denture cream at all. Nan still had a good night out with her mates, despite the lack of denture cream, and she reckons she'd rather do without than have to taste the paste under her plate. Mum is taking nan to see a dentist though as we think...

The Battle of the Plate

Advantages: Sticks like glue - for a while, comfortable gums
Disadvantages: Horrible sensation if you overuse it

...many partial denture users soon abandon them and retain a gappy smile. FIXODENT DENTURE ADHESIVE CREAM There are a number of plate adhesives on the market ? the leaders in the UK are Fixodent from Proctor and Gamble Ltd and Poli-Grip from SmithKeinBeecham. The cream is promoted to hold dentures in place strongly all day (about 12 hours for the average user). It acts as a cushion under the denture preventing abrasion of the gum margin. It acts as a barrier to food particles getting under the plate. These things together allow the user to ?laugh, talk and eat with great comfort and confidence? Fixodent is packaged in 40ml plastic tubes and is available in three flavours (Original ? which is flavoured with peppermint oil), Fresh (flavoured with peppermint powder) and Neutral (no flavourings). The active ingredients are co...

Poligrip ULTRA!

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

...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 denture fitted quite well but over time the gums shrank. Very occasionally my teeth fell off - boy! is that embarrassing. especially talking to your boss. Everyone is always polite - but you can see the horror on there faces! (Oh no! his face is coming to bits!) The final straw came when I bit and broke it. I had it fixed but it was a slightly worse fit than before. Something had to be done. I visited my local pharamacy and asked what they had for sticking dentures down(or up). I tried to make out it was for an ageing relative - the last time I was in a chemist being embarrassed was trying to buy a pack of you know whats! She waved a hand in the general direction of denture fixers. I had no...

STICK IT ON, STICK IT IN, STICK IT UP

Advantages: Total lack of public humiliation
Disadvantages: I've got false teeth for Gods sake

...inmate I would have been delighted, but I didn't so I wasn't. My delightful dentist then fashioned me a bridge with the missing teeth on it, an absolutely delightful thing. So there I was, 26, with a denture plate. But what was the alternative? Scaring the kids with my hang tooth, auditioning to be the nasty witchy woman in Snow White? No siree! Now we're a couple of years later, I'm used to the thing (although my partner has never seen me without it, kinda destroys the mystique!). Its slipped occasionally but thankfully never into a glass of wine or bowl of soup. I was always worrying about it slipping when I kissed someone, but no complaints (Now I know what you dirty lot are thinking!) Bt while the rest of me has gotten a bit broader it seems me gums have got thinner! And with a trip to Alton Towers looming I was really relishing...

Denture Tablets

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

...Referring to the Opinion written by J.H. Rushton some while ago now, I feel I must write my own Opinion 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 and Adhesive that I use, there is still no 'nasty' taste left in my mouth and I am 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...

Santa Loves Disney Too

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Disney Self Adhesive Labels Santa Loves Disney Too It has come around to that time of the year again when Father Christmas and his elves are beginning to wrap the presents, and even though Father Christmas is brilliant with delivering the presents to all the children around the world, he does tend to forget names, so even he needs to label the presents! There are many different labels on the market for Christmas time, the non-self-adhesive kind are so annoying and quite often I make my own labels with cut out cards and string, though this year with a small daughter in tow, I thought I would make it easier for myself and brought some self-adhesive labels from Disney. These specific set of Disney labels come in many different Disney character and programme types from Jungle Book to Winnie the Pooh. This specific type I am reviewing is...

Adhesive mistake

Advantages: Previews of the scanned image/document, ability to adjust image
Disadvantages: The disc no longer works and we had problems with the cable

...My husband and I have never been very technically minded people so finding products that are easy to understand and very user friendly are a must in our purchasing decisions. We have now owned the HP Scan Jet 4400c for about 3 years now and it served us well until we bought another computer. The problem occurred very stupidly and was nothing technically wrong ? just adhesively wrong. The disc to install this scanner onto a computer had a paper casing which had been glued down. When we installed it into our first computer, we tucked the flap inside and unfortunately the glue stuck to the disc and ruined it. We visited the HP website only to discover a new disc would cost us £10. I suppose this isn?t a bad price but I?ll let you know what happens in a minute. This scanner is a flat bed scanner which means it is in a horizontal...

Get stuck into some decorating!

Advantages: Great adhesion, easy to mix, great range
Disadvantages: Need to keep away from children and pets

...I quite enjoy a bit of DIY and one of the things I like to do is hang wallpaper - it is great way to get a new finish to a room and the results don't take too long to achieve. I live in a house where the walls are not perfectly finished so wallpapering is useful to cover up the odd imperfection. Whenever I am wallpapering I usually make a bee-line for the Solvite Wallpaper Adhesive because I have been really pleased with this product whenever I have used it. Many years ago they ran a series of TV adverts where they pasted a bloke on to a board using Solvite and then flew him over the countryside to show how effective it was. If I am honest I never really was convinced that the stuff was that good (and I certainly wouldn't take part in that stunt to prove it one way or another) but it was a distinctive enough advert to make me use...

Review of Solvite Wallpaper Adhesive

A rubbish way of locking your loo!

Advantages: ummm any?! no!
Disadvantages: Doesn't stick at all!

...I looked into buying this when I decided I needed to child proof my home! My baby isn't quite at the age yet where she's putting her hands down the toilet or trapping her fingers between the seat of the loo but my friend's toddlers are and it's yet another thing to think about- is another teddy going to be dropped down the loo again?! I saw this advertised in a magazine and thought it looked like a good idea. It's aim is to keep the toilet lid firmly shut so that children don't drop things down the loo or put their fingers into the unhygenic water. I guess it could also be used to stop dogs drinking out of it too! It sticks on with adhesive on the side of the lock. It's very easy to secure on and very easy to use- you just squeeze the side of it to open it when you want to lift the lid so very straight forward. However, what I...
