The Benefits of Using Adhesives
Many denture and partial wearers use Super PoliGrip® to help them eat, speak and smile with confidence. Even if your dentures fit well, food particles can become trapped between your dentures and gums and can cause discomfort. Super Poligrip® seals out up to three times more food particles. And that means you can enjoy eating your favorite foods like steak, tortilla chips or even a chocolate-covered strawberry.
Remember, a denture adhesive is no substitute for properly fitting dentures and partials. If you find that your dentures or partials are loose, see your dentist.
