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