3 x Poligrip FLAVOUR FREE Denture Fixative Cream – Secure Hold Flavour Free 40g

1. What is the best way to clean dentures?
Caring for your denture is as important as caring for natural teeth. Regular toothpastes used on natural teeth may not always be suitable for dentures as they may scratch the denture surface. Dentures need cleaning daily, and because they are different from natural teeth, they require specialist methods, like a denture cleanser, which are designed to effectively kill bacteria and reduce plaque and stain build up when used as directed.

2. How do I use Poligrip denture cleansers?
Drop one Poligrip Cleanser tablet into enough very warm (not hot) water to cover denture for the time stated on the pack instructions.
Soak for 3-5 minutes. For best results, gently brush your denture with cleanser solution using a soft brush. Discard remaining solution immediately after use.
Rinse denture thoroughly with running water.

3. Is there a limit to how long dentures can be left in the Poligrip solution?
The denture cleanser should be used for the recommended soaking times on pack. The used solution should be discarded after a single soak.

4. How do Poligrip denture cleansers work?
When used as directed, the multi-ingredient cleaning system in Poligrip helps clean dentures by removing stains and killing odour-causing bacteria. The oxidants (Sodium percarbonate and Potassium monopersulfate) in the formulation are bleaches and work to remove the stains that can build up each day. They are also effective in killing the bacteria and other microbes that are harboured by your dentures.

The detergent (Sodium lauryl sulfate) will clean dentures by helping to lift the stain debris from the surface. The effervescent ingredients (sodium bicarbonate and citric acid) help to breakdown the tablet and disperse the above ingredients so they can get to work cleaning your denture. These actions are helped by brushing your dentures with the solution after soaking.

5. How often can I use Poligrip cleanser?
Poligrip Proguard & Retainer Cleanser is recommended for daily use.

6. Can I use more or less Poligrip denture cleaning tablets than recommended?
No, always use the product as directed on the product label.

7. Can I use Poligrip soaking solution multiple times for cleaning the dentures?
No. The used solution must be discarded after a single soak.

8. Should I use 1 tablet per denture (upper and lower) or 1 tablet per all the dentures I have?
Place both dentures in a glass and use one tablet.

9. Why is it important to use Poligrip every day?
A daily denture cleaning regime is essential to maintain good denture hygiene.

Once a denture is placed in the mouth, plaque, stains and bacteria start to build up.

Poligrip Cleanser is specifically formulated for removing stains more gently vs. brushing with regular toothpaste. It also has proven bactericidal activity, killing 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria*.

We recommend soaking daily with Poligrip denture cleansers followed by brushing with the solution and a thorough rinse under running water.

10. Why should I use Poligrip tablets instead of regular toothpaste? Is it better than regular toothpaste?
Regular toothpastes contain abrasives that help clean natural teeth primarily through mechanical action. As you know the acrylic used in dentures is softer than natural enamel. Therefore abrasives in toothpaste can scratch the denture surface, helping to create the ideal conditions for growth of malodour bacteria.

Poligrip cleanser is specifically formulated for removing stains more gentle* and kills 99.9 percent of odour-causing bacteria.

11. Can Poligrip denture cleanser products be used with orthodontic appliances?
When used as directed, Poligrip cleanser is suitable for use on dental appliances such as retainers braces, mouthguards, nightguards, acrylic splints and sportsguards, which are made up of polymethyl methacrylate, stainless steel, cobalt chrome alloys, and ethylene vinyl copolymer.

12. I’ve noticed flecks in the Poligrip solution. Is that normal?
After the Poligrip cleanser solution has fully dissolved, you may notice sediment at the bottom of the container. This is normal.

Remember to thoroughly rinse your denture with running water as part of your denture care routine before placing it in your mouth.
