Dental professionals discuss why they have shifted their approach to recommending denture adhesives

You do an amazing job fitting your patients’ dentures – you are experts in making sure they leave the clinic with a great fitting appliance that helps them to smile again. But once they’re back home in their everyday lives, many patients – even those with well-fitting dentures – may struggle to adapt. Patients face a number of challenges including issues with food, denture movement, discomfort and even loss of confidence.¹

Every little bit helps when it comes to making the transition to wearing dentures a more positive experience.

Proactively recommending a denture adhesive, even from the planning or fitting stage, can make all the difference and reduce the likelihood of common problems arising:

Help increase denture hold^* to help your patients to talk, sing, eat and laugh without holding back
Form a seal to prevent trapped food^* so your patients can choose from the menu with confidence
Help improve comfort^* and keep out food particles which may lead to irritation
