Hi Arlene,

Thank you for contacting Denture Living. All of our Fixodent products are designed to hold dentures in place longer than any other cream or powder (all of our products will hold on average 8-12 hrs) They are extensively tested for effectiveness, however everyone has different needs, only you will be able to decide which Fixodent works best for yours.

Thank you for stopping by.

Question:  how do I clean my new upper dentures?

Jul 30, 2010 4:26 pm

In order to minimize staining, it's important to properly clean your dentures every day to remove food deposits and plaque.

The first step in cleaning dentures is to rinse away loose food particles thoroughly. Moisten the brush, a soft-bristled toothbrush is preferable, and apply denture cleanser. Brush every surface, scrubbing gently to avoid damage. Also, your dentures may be soaked in denture cleansing solution that is available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy. Make sure to follow the directions on the cleanser closely. If your dentures have a soft lining layer on the inner surface of the denture, you may not be able to use these denture cleansing solutions. If you have further questions about exactly how to cleanse your dentures or if you may use a cleansing solution, ask your dentist or prosthodontist.

Question:  i've had all my teeth pulled, 1 week ago, but still sore. how long will it take to heal?

Thanks for writing. The areas where the extractions were performed may be painful or uncomfortable for up to several weeks after the removal of the teeth. Regular visits to your dentist or prosthodontist as you go through the normal healing process are recommended.

Hope this helps!

Question:  why do I need fixodent? Shouldn't my dentures fit well enough without it?

Thank you for contacting Fixodent Denture Living. There are a number of published clinical studies showing adhesives actually improve the performance of properly-fitting dentures. There is also clinical data showing adhesives help reduce irritation and sore spots caused by denture rub.

Remember, while dentures are rigid, mouth tissue is soft and changes over time so dentures don't always fit the same.
