Denture Trouble
1 Answers
Tell me i am not the only one that suffers with this problem!
I have a part set of dentures, i use dentafix or what ever it is called, it lasts about 12 hours, it does tell you this, after that time my teeth are rattling around in my mouth. If i dare to take them out and reapply more dentafix, when i come to take the perishing things out before bed, i can't get the awful stuff off the roof of my mouth. I can spend ages trying to scrape it off with my fingers or even a toothbrush, this usually ends with me cutting the roof of my mouth. How awful is this?????
I can't be the only one to have to go through this trauma. Please tell me where i am going wrong!!!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If you are wearing a 'part denture' i.e. you have some natural teeth then there a few options/possibilities:
1) Have new part denture (typically part dentures shouldn't require fixative although this is not always the case)
2) as above but with the addition of clasps
3) implant retained prosthesis
4) bridges if appropriate (or see number 3)
