Can fittydent Denture Adhesive be used like conventional adhesives?2024-03-28T16:10:29+01:00

fittydent Denture Adhesive is worldwide the only waterproof Denture Adhesive.
fittydent must be applied on a clean and completely dry denture. It has higher viscosity than conventional adhesives due to its unique composition, thus less is more. Less Adhesive – more Bonding.

Do every denture wearer need adhesive support?2024-04-23T10:02:49+01:00

No. In the perfect case the dentures stays on the gum like suction. When the shape of the gum changes or the patient don’t wear the dentures regularly the perfect fit can get lost. Then to fill in the gap between gum and dentures the patient needs support.

What is the meaning of waterproof?2024-04-23T13:05:36+01:00

fittydent Denture Adhesive and fittydent Denture Adhesive Cushions consists of two main components: Polyvinylacetate (PVA) and Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Polyvinylacetate is the adhesive. It works only on a dry surface to create the bonding effect (like chewing gum). To keep the mucosa dry, we use Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) which works like a “sponge” to absorb moisture in the mouth. When the “sponge” is saturated with moisture, the mucosa becomes wet, Polyvinylacetate loses bonding effect and the denture stays in place only by suction. Now you can easily remove the dentures.

If it is waterproof, how can I remove it in case of emergency?2024-04-23T10:07:31+01:00

Normally, there is no need to remove the denture earlier, as long as  no food particles get trapped underneath. However, in specific cases – like accidents, x-ray…the denture can be removed by little force. Pull on the back up or down. It will be painless and will cause no negative effects, but residues of the adhesive might be left on the gum.

If it is waterproof, how can I clean it?2024-04-23T10:08:20+01:00

fittydent Cleansing Tablets with pH 9 are recommended.

I tried “Less is More” but I could not spread it?2024-03-28T16:32:22+01:00

Because of the ingredients which make it non-water-soluble the consistence is a bit thicker. So please try to spread it out with a wet finger.

Can I use the Cushions on uppers too?2024-04-23T13:06:32+01:00

We do not recommend. Due to the bigger surface, it can be that the dentures stays for 2 days or more. If food trappings get underneath, it can cause inflammations.

Can I use a cotton bud/swap to spread the Adhesive out evenly?2024-03-28T16:32:56+01:00

NO. The cotton will adhere to the dentures.

Can I use a tooth pick to spread the Adhesive out evenly?2024-03-28T16:33:23+01:00

NO. The pointy ends scratch on the surface.

Can I apply the Adhesive on wet dentures?2024-04-03T13:21:24+01:00

Not recommended. The Adhesive will not bond immediately. But it is possible.

Can I also use the Adhesive on partial dentures too?2024-03-28T16:34:42+01:00

Yes, but there must be at least a reasonable surface.

It burns when I put the dentures in or I felt a slight burning sensation.2024-03-28T16:35:20+01:00

It is because of the alcohol. The alcohol is for disinfecting. If you wait a bit longer before inserting – the alcohol evaporates.

I am an AA, in the Adhesive is alcohol.2024-04-23T10:12:43+01:00

Even if the alcohol evaporate – the decision lays within the user.

I was stopped by the police DUI. Is this because of fittydent?2024-04-23T10:11:47+01:00

Impossible. The amount of Alcohol used in one Adhesive application is way too less to be detected it in the blood.

How does it taste?2024-03-28T16:37:02+01:00

We don’t use any aroma.

Why the taste is so bad?2024-03-28T16:37:16+01:00

We don’t use any aroma.

Why is there a clear ugly smelling liquid oozing out before the actual Adhesive?2024-03-28T16:38:11+01:00

This is when the Adhesive wasn’t stored properly. Mostly too warm. The ingredients split. It is called Syneresis. Please get in contact with us.

You claim the bonding last a whole day with the Adhesive? Mine gets loose after… 3 hours … next meal … I drink something.2024-03-28T16:41:35+01:00

Did you try less is more? Spread it out with the wet finger.
Uppers or lowers? (Lowers would maybe more bond with the Cushions?)
Are you a first time fittydent user? Less is more! The opposite to the competitors where it is “more is more”.

I experienced an ooze kind of feel with the Cushions – was disgusting.2024-03-28T16:18:38+01:00

Did it ooze out? Then I am afraid you produce too much saliva and the Cushions are faster saturated then planned.
