Cleansers

Over 2 million people in Australia and New Zealand wear dentures.  Around 69% of these wear partials.

Partial denture wearers need to protect their natural teeth by reducing bacterial growth on their dentures.

• The acrylic in dentures is softer than the enamel on natural teeth.
• A scratched denture surface can attract bacteria.
• Significantly more bacteria accumulate on surfaces brushed with toothpaste.
• Polident does not scratch denture surfaces.

Polident is recommended everyday for complete denture hygiene.

Unlike toothpaste, Polident tablets:

• Are non-abrasive, thus clean without scratching.
• Protect wearer's natural teeth by reducing bacterial growth on dentures.

Polident kills 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria and removes plaque and tough stains.

Top tips for cleaning your denture.

• SOAK with Polident tablets.
• BRUSH with the tablet soaking solution (Denture Brush available on ToothShop)
• RINSE thoroughly with warm water.

Adhesives

Even with expertly fitted dentures, wearers are often nervous and self-conscious in social situations.

• A recent study showed 83% satisfaction with denture fit - yet the number one complaint was food trapped under dentures causing irritation and discomfort.
• Studies have shown that with the use of adhesives 55.7% felt their speech and chewing improved and 63.9% reported improved confidence.

Polident adhesives provide a significantly better food barrier than no adhesive, sealing out 70% more food particles.

The Polident range provides all these benefits...

•  Increased confidence.
• Fewer food particles trapped under their dentures.
• Improved denture comfort.
• Better chewing efficiency.
• Significantly less denture dislodgement while eating.
• Suitable for both full and partial dentures.

Top tips for a positive denture wearing experience.

1. Use Polident Denture Adhesive only once a day.
2. Start with a small amount first.  Add more if extra support is needed.
3. The adhesive expands, if oozing occurs, reduce the amount of adhesive.
4. Be reassured that it may take time to find the right amount for you.
5. Try an adhesive for one week and build up to more each day, until you find the right amount.
