Fixodent for false teeth?

I recently got a upper full plate, and I am having a bit of a problem keeping it on right. This is not my permanent set, in which I will be getting in about 3 months. Now in the meantime I have to keep the plate on with quite a bit of Super Polygrip. My question may sound silly, but I am swallowing a lot of the Polygrip. It is just disgusting, I hate it. I have been sick to my sotmach and really feel bad. Does anyone see any danger in how much of that crap I swallow? Thanks Jana

I know what you mean, I don%26#039;t think that it can hurt you since it for putting in your mouth. I have found that the polygrip strips work the best, that way you are not dealing with the paste stuff and shallowing it. You can get a box of like 24 strips for about $4-5 at walmart. You just wet it a bit and stick it to your plate. I love them. You should try them.
Reply:Just put a %26#039;dot%26#039; of it on the roof of the plate and a few %26#039;dots%26#039; in the areas that your teeth would be. When you place the denture, the adhesive will spread out where it needs to go, and you won%26#039;t have as much excess... it sounds like you%26#039;re putting too much on.

Reply:you should quit wearing the adhesives and go back to your dentist and get a soft liner to fill in the gaps where your gums are healing.


The more you get used to that glued in feeling, the harder it is to wear your final denture when it comes to wearing it without the fixodent.


I don%26#039;t see any danger in swallowing some of it.
Reply:I%26#039;m not sure how healthy it is to be swallowing polygrip :) but I do know how disgusting that stuff is! I see it quite often at work. If you partial is not fitting correctly, it was not made right. I would tell your dentist and they should be able to send it back to the lab and make it fit better! Even if it%26#039;s just 3 months...3 months can be a long time with something annoying like that! They might be able to add clasps or take a new impression to get a better fit.
Reply:It sounds like you might be putting too much of the product in your denture. Since it is new you should probably go back to the dentist and have it adjusted. You may also need a soft liner put in to make it more comfortable. With the soft liner in you won%26#039;t need to use much adhesive if any.
