Fixodent Extra Hold Denture Adhesive Powder, 2.7 Ounce (Pack of 4)

Good product.

Thanks to the adhesive powers of zinc, this powder will hold your upper tight most of the day. It takes patience and creativity and knowing your own habits to make it work correctly. I’ve found applying a little more than a light layer to a still-damp plate following cleaning will hold dependably all day. If you’re new to prosthetics, becoming self-aware is the key to success, whether it be teeth or a leg. Experimenting is the key and making good notes in the beginning will help you track and improve your success. I find for myself, using the above mentioned layer and rinsing my mouth with water before application works reliably for myself, you may be different. Press the device in place and lightly massage while pressing for about the count of 20. Getting a good initial seal is the key to success. If it’s not holding well, swish about a tablespoon of water in your mouth, spit, and try pressing again. There is a learning curve involved in using these appliances, so please be patient with yourself. As I don’t have a full lower appliance, I can only imagine this would work well. For a partial appliance, I highly recommend the PolyGrip Power Max Hold and Seal, which is NOT a powder. The trick to success with both types of appliances is trying and especially making notes of your successes. After a couple of years of these, I literally eat and chew better than the teeth I was born with, not good DNA in my lineage for them, sadly. Make note of your activities: smiling, laughing, problematic foods (those with seeds are a universal problem for all.) Keep your adhesives handy throughout your day in the event you need to make an adjustment or if your day is running longer than you intended. Cleanup is simple in your sink (always apply over the sink) I keep a small container of Barkeepers Friend handy in case the powder doesn’t rinse away easily. Remember, it is meant to bond with light moisture. To remove from your appliance, I keep a small container of Dawn next to my sink, along with a stiff denture brush, to help remove any excess before soaking. In my travel bag, I keep a tube of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda Toothpaste, which easily removes any residue from your appliance or mouth. Arming yourself with knowledge and paying meticulous attention to what works for you and when will enable you to eat pretty much anything you choose. If I know I’m having a cookout with ribs and corn on the cob, for instance, I’ll use the PolyGrip product liberally on both upper and lower and pay attention to firmly holding in place for maximum adhesion, I can not only eat what I choose, but keep food particles from getting past the seal and making eating unpleasant. If this is your first time with an oral prosthetic, the powder will help give you your confidence back. Remember NOT to touch the tip of the powder “nozzle, if you will) to the denture itself and keep the cap away and dry (I use a napkin or tissue to set it on). If the bottle does become clogged, don’t throw it away, use a large pin to insert into the applicator hole to make it bigger. You will have probably more than you need coming out faster, so use sparingly and thank yourself for not losing all your money. If you’re having denture problems, the best bet is to get the lightest denture material you can afford, and never opt for a reline should they lose their fit, particularly on the upper as they become too heavy and you’ll need an enormous amount of any adhesive to keep them in place. These items will not last a lifetime as your gums and bone structure will change as you age. Set aside a fund so you can replace when needed. My first set lasted close to ten for me, but they will wear down from eating as well. As you can tell, this review was aimed towards the new denture wearer, in hopes that sharing a bit of my experience may help others with a smoother transition. Do everything you can to boost your confidence while you adjust to these, be nice to yourself and your miracle will happen when you find YOUR WAY to manage your oral hygiene. I truly only think of them once or so a day while cleaning.

Been using this for years. This product is fantastic! Also very cheap from this seller. At the drug store or any store for that matter I have to pay upwards of $9 a container, but, I get four for $22 with these guys.

Works great and leaves your mouth feeling fresh

Let's face it, no matter what you use to adhere your dentures, it's only going to be but so good. I think I have probably used about every denture adhesive out there. I even used Secure. And I'm here to tell you, if you want your teeth to stay stuck in your mouth all day, that's what you want to use. That's almost like super glue! But that's not what I'm wanting to use. This powder holds up quite well during the day. My upper plate stays secure throughout the day, but my lower plate needs to be reglued right before dinner. But I will say that This keeps my dentures in place quite well. Even eating corn on the cob or steak. And if you have been using dentures for any time, you know exactly what that means. Powder has no flavor to it, so it doesn't screw up your food or drinks. It comes out easily in a fine spray, and is pretty easy to shake around in the denture. Dump out the excess, put them in your mouth, and you're good to go. No worries I have been a customer, and I will continue to be a customer. This works perfectly for me. If you don't want the gluey gummy mess at the end of the day, this is the way to go. There is very little residual

Best I’ve ever found. Holds well.

One of the best adhesives! Would purchase again and have recommended to everyone. I feel like the powder just does so much better and it’s not messy at all!

Hold good

Goût atroce et surtout permanent , limite insupportable très déçu car non précisé sur le site ... Si vous n'aimez pas la menthe fuyez.

L’articolo è ottimo prodotto

I love this product it holds so well and has no nasty after taste. Whilst it appears everyone is going to a paste these days I still love the powder.

Opino que es el mejor producto ayudar a fijar las prótesis dentales, No tiene sabor, es fácil de aplicar y acompañado de la crema fijadora Fixodent se adhiere tan fuertemente que es imposible que se muevan las piezas fijadas. Precio accesible y dura meses porque es suficiente una pequeña cantidad para sujetar la dentadura. Gracias!

Muy buen producto para los dientes postizos.
