Patient Counseling Information
Polident Denture Adhesive Cream Flavour-Free/Polident Denture Adhesive Cream Fresh Mint: Helpful Hints: For the first time, use a small amount. Use more if needed. Too much adhesive can cause oozing; apply less next time if this occurs. It may take a few tries to find the right amount for the denture. Apply once a day for secure hold. If the patient needs to apply more than once a day, seek advice from the dental care professional. Ill-fitting dentures may impair the health. Visit the dentist regularly to check the denture fit. To keep tip from clogging, keep cap and nozzle dry.
