You have been given the finest possible dentures and will have to properly care for them. Your dentist is the best source of advice on how to care for your dentures.
If you have any questions regarding your dentures, make sure to ask your dentist. Follow his or her advice carefully.
In addition to your routine dental visit, daily care at home will help prevent oral problems.

You may not feel totally comfortable with your new dentures. You may feel:

• your dentures are too big
• your dentures do not fit properly
• you may even bite your tongue or cheek at the beginning
• your tongue is pressed against your denture and not your palate
• you may also experience excessive saliva

All these problems are common, but temporary.
They will lessen over time.

Soreness is to be expected soon after you get your dentures. If it becomes a problem, see your dentist for a necessary adjustment.

When you begin to talk with your new dentures, you may notice a change in the sound of your voice or have trouble with denture movement.

• Before you speak, bite and swallow to position your dentures.
• Speak slowly to avoid movements that raise the lower dentures.
• Practice reading aloud to help your tongue get used to your dentures.
• Use a denture adhesive like fittydent to help keep your dentures in place and help you get used to your dentures.

Eating may be somehow difficult and less enjoyable at first. The following tips will be helpful:

• Begin by eating food which is easy to chew like eggs, fish, chopped meat or cooked vegetables.
• Take small bites. Chew half of the food on the back left side of the mouth and half on the back right side to even out the pressure on your dentures.
• Use a denture adhesive like fittydent to keep dentures in place and make it easier to eat with confidence.

Bones in your mouth will change over time. Regular check ups by your dentist are necessary. Your dentist will examine your mouth and your dentures, check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
In addition to these routine dental visits, daily care at home will help prevent oral problems.

Plaque can form on dentures, like on natural teeth. If it is not removed every day, it threatens the health of your whole oral cavity. It causes:

• bad odour
• bad looking dentures
• gingivitis and more serious periodontitis which results in greater risk of heart disease
• cavities in adjoining teeth

It is highly recommended that denture wearers clean their dentures regularly by using e.g. fittydent Super Denture Cleansing Tablets and see their dentist regularly to maintain good oral health.

fittydent is the only Denture Adhesive worldwide that is non water-soluble. This makes it differ from conventional adhesives.

• fittydent will not wash away when denture wearers are eating or drinking;
• Dentures hold longer and stronger in the mouth;
• No denture adhesive residues will leak into the stomach.

Due to intensive flow of saliva around the lower jaw, the non water-soluble properties of fittydent are especially important in keeping lower denture well in place.
fittydent assures that dentures will be fixed to the gum all day long. Denture wearers will enjoy a completely new and natural feeling.
The use of fittydent Denture Adhesive is therapeutically beneficial.*
