Denture Fixing
Denture fixing keeps your dentures in place and helps you feel more confident during the day. Whether you’re talking, eating or laughing, a good fixative makes sure your dentures stay secure without slipping or shifting.

Yes, denture fixative is safe for daily use when used as directed. It’s important not to use too much and to clean off any leftover fixative from your dentures and gums each day. Long-term overuse of fixative, especially those with zinc, may lead to side effects.
Can denture fixative help with loose dentures?
Yes, denture fixative can help with loose dentures by providing a stronger grip and preventing them from slipping. While fixatives don’t change the actual fit of your denture, they do improve comfort and stability.
