Polident Strong Hold Adhesive Cream for Dentures, 40 g

What is Polident Strong Hold with Menthol Flavor used for?

Polident Strong Hold is an adhesive cream designed to improve the hold, adhesion, and comfort of dentures. It is suitable for full or partial dentures, whether upper, lower, or partial.

Its formula helps keep the dentures in place throughout the day. This reduces movement that might interfere with chewing, speaking, or daily activities.

Once applied, the cream forms an adhesive layer between the dentures and the oral mucosa. It helps reduce friction caused by denture movement and improves wearing comfort. Polident Strong Hold has a mild minty taste that provides a refreshing sensation in the mouth. Its formula does not contain zinc.

Apply the cream in short strips to a clean and completely dry denture. A small amount is usually sufficient to ensure a secure fit and prevent the cream from spreading. Its use is not a substitute for a properly fitted denture. If your dentures have become uncomfortable, unstable, or painful, you should have them checked by a dentist.

We also offer Polident Power Max Hold + Protection 70 g at the best price in our online pharmacy.

How to Use Polident Strong Hold?

Inserting the Denture

1. Clean and dry your dentures thoroughly.
2. Apply Polident in short strips once a day, avoiding the edges of the denture.
3. Rinse your mouth.
4. Reinsert the dentures, holding them firmly in place, then bite down for a few seconds to ensure a secure fit.

When using it for the first time, start by applying a small amount of cream. Gradually increase the amount if necessary. Using too much can cause the cream to overflow; if this happens, use less the next time you apply it.

Use the cream only once a day. If you need to reapply it during the day, consult your dentist.

Removing and Cleaning the Denture

1. Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water.
2. Gently remove the denture using a rocking motion.
3. Remove any cream residue from the denture and your mouth using lukewarm water and a soft-bristled brush.
4. Clean your dentures thoroughly every day, then rinse them thoroughly with water.

Expert Tips and Advice

Proper retention depends as much on the amount of cream used as on the fit of the denture. Always start with a small amount to avoid spillage. Apply the cream to a clean and completely dry denture, then maintain strict daily oral hygiene. Remove the denture every night to clean both the denture and the oral mucosa. Never use more cream to compensate for a denture that has become unstable. Any changes in fit, pain, persistent irritation, or difficulty chewing should prompt a visit to a dentist. Regular checkups also help maintain oral health.
