Apparently Polygrip do powder now. DH thinks powder 'settles' better.

I would agree about the powder. I found the adhesives left stringy bits in my mouth and an unpleasant taste. Make sure you rinse thoroughly after removing your dentures. False teeth take some getting used to but persevere, it does get better.

Since having a full upper plate this year, I tried various fixatives, and after doing a bit of research in forums, settled on Poligrip powder. Not available on the high street, but bought a multipack from Amazon. It works much better than Fixodent, and is zinc-free too. Poligrip Max paste in the tube is also very good, and that is available in shops.

You should only need to apply once a day with the above, but trial and error needed to get best results.

DH says Wernets Powders but difficult to find.

Failing that Polygrip.

Reapply when adhesion is lost.
