Question 1

How is Secure Denture Adhesive different from other adhesives?

Accepted Answer

Secure Denture Adhesive stands out from conventional denture adhesives due to its unique formulation and performance. Unlike water-soluble adhesives, Secure is completely water-insoluble, meaning it won't wash away while eating or drinking. This ensures a long-lasting, all-day hold from just one application in the morning. Its distinct composition gives it a higher viscosity than traditional adhesives, so only a small amount is needed to create a firm, secure bond. Because of these differences, Secure must be applied differently than typical adhesives, and patients should be shown how to use it properly to maximize effectiveness and comfort.

Question 2

Why doesn’t Secure Denture Adhesive contain zinc?

Accepted Answer

Secure Denture Adhesive is formulated without zinc to prioritize safety and avoid potential health risks associated with long-term or excessive zinc exposure. While zinc was once a common ingredient in many denture adhesives for its adhesive properties, studies have linked excessive zinc intake—especially from overuse of zinc-containing adhesives—to neurological issues and zinc-copper imbalance. Secure uses a zinc-free, water-insoluble formula that delivers strong, all-day hold without the need for zinc. This ensures reliable performance while minimizing risk, making it a safe choice for daily, long-term use.

Question 3

How should Secure Denture Adhesive be applied?

Accepted Answer

Clean and Dry Dentures Thoroughly: Ensure your dentures are completely clean and dry before applying Secure. The adhesive works best on dry surfaces.Apply Adhesive: Apply Secure in thin strips or a series of dots (refer to diagram), staying away from the edges to prevent overflow. Tip: If the tube feels cold and the adhesive is difficult to squeeze out, warm it in your hands first. You may spread the adhesive lightly with a damp fingertip if needed.Allow Adhesive to Set Briefly: Wait about 30 seconds before inserting your dentures. This allows the alcohol in the formula (used for hygienic purposes) to evaporate.Insert Dentures and Press Firmly: Place the dentures in your mouth and bite down firmly to secure them in place.Wait Before Eating or Drinking: For best results, wait at least 15 minutes before eating or drinking to allow the adhesive to fully set.Close Tube Tightly After Use: To prevent the adhesive from drying out or clogging, reseal the tube immediately after each use.

Question 4

How Much Secure Denture Adhesive Should I Use?

Accepted Answer

Finding the right amount of Secure Denture Adhesive may take a few tries. Start small and adjust as needed—using too much can reduce comfort and effectiveness.Begin with a small amount. Only a little adhesive is usually needed due to its high strength.Adjust gradually. If your dentures don't stay in place all day, slightly increase the amount until you achieve the desired hold.Too much hold? If your dentures remain secure for more than a day, reduce the amount next time.Still holding strong at bedtime? You can leave your dentures in overnight, but be sure to use less adhesive the following day.For extra hold: You may spread a thin, even layer of adhesive across the entire contact area of the denture.Note: Dentures with soft liners may not bond as effectively, so results may vary.

Question 5

Is it okay to leave dentures in for more than one day?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is safe to keep your dentures in for more than one day when using Secure Denture Adhesive. The strong, water-insoluble bond helps prevent food particles from getting trapped underneath, which minimizes irritation and odor. You can clean your dentures while they’re still in your mouth—just like natural teeth—using a toothbrush and toothpaste after meals. There is no need to remove them solely for cleaning purposes.

Question 6

Will Secure Denture Adhesive work if I have a problem with excessive saliva?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but an increased amount of Secure Denture Adhesive should be used in this case. If the lower denture does not stay in place for one day, Secure Denture Adhesive Comfort Strips should be used instead. The Secure Denture Adhesive Comfort Strips were developed for patients with excessive saliva and/or very narrow/flat lower jaw.

Question 7

Will Secure Denture Adhesive work if I have a problem with dry mouth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Secure Denture Adhesive is a real adhesive which does not work by suction alone, so it is an effective solution for patients with dry mouth.

Question 8

If I wear soft lined dentures can I use Secure Denture Adhesive or Secure Denture Adhesive Comfort Strips?

Accepted Answer

An optimal bonding effect can only be achieved if Secure Denture Adhesive is used with a hard and smooth base. Dentures with soft linings will reduce the bonding effect of Secure Denture Adhesive or Secure Denture Adhesive Comfort Strips.

Question 9

Can any of the Secure Denture products cause allergic reactions?

Accepted Answer

All ingredients used in Secure Denture Adhesive and Secure Denture Adhesive Comfort Strips are food-grade and approved for use in the food industry. These products have been sold worldwide for over 20 years with no significant reports of allergic reactions. However, as with any product—especially those with ingredients also found in foods—individual allergies are always possible. While uncommon, allergic reactions cannot be entirely ruled out.

Question 10

How can I prevent the tingling or burning feeling when I put my dentures in?

Accepted Answer

The burning or tingling feeling is caused by the alcohol in the product (used as a disinfectant). Allow at least 30 seconds after applying to dentures for the alcohol to evaporate before inserting onto gums.

Question 11

What if I have a sticky feeling when using Secure?

Accepted Answer

A sticky sensation typically means that too much adhesive has been applied or that the Comfort Strips were not trimmed properly to fit the denture.To prevent this:Only apply a small amount of adhesive, keeping it away from the edges of the denture.If using Secure Denture Adhesive Comfort Strips, they should be trimmed to fit the denture base after being molded to the shape. This ensures the strip stays entirely within the edges, avoiding overflow.Proper application and fit will improve comfort and eliminate any sticky feeling.

Question 12

Can Secure Denture Adhesive be used for partial dentures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Secure Denture Adhesive can be used for partial dentures.

Question 13

Have any studies on Secure Denture Adhesive System’s effectiveness been conducted?

Accepted Answer

The Secure Denture Adhesive formula has been proven effective in several clinical studies. These studies collectively support the effectiveness of Secure Denture Adhesive in improving denture retention and user satisfaction. For optimal results, it's recommended to follow the manufacturer's application instructions and consult with a dental professional for personalized advice.

Question 14

How long does Secure Denture Adhesive stay fresh after purchase?

Accepted Answer

Its shelf life is 4 years if stored correctly. Ensure that the cap is sealed tightly after each use to prevent drying.

Question 15

How long will a 1.4 oz (40g) tube of Secure Denture Adhesive last?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size of the denture and the amount of adhesive which is spread over the denture. On average, a 1.4 oz (40g) tube of Secure Denture Adhesive will last between 4 and 8 weeks.

Question 16

Why is it difficult to squeeze the adhesive out of the tube?

Accepted Answer

The consistency of Secure Denture Adhesive is temperature-sensitive. If the adhesive is cold, it may become too thick to dispense easily. To ensure smooth application, always store the tube at room temperature. If the tube feels cold or the adhesive is hard to squeeze out, simply warm it in your hands for a minute or two before use. This will help restore its normal texture and flow.

Question 17

The Secure Denture Adhesive is getting dry in the tube nozzle – why?

Accepted Answer

Secure Denture Adhesive may get dry in the tube nozzle if the tube stays open for a longer period of time or if the tube is not closed tightly. To avoid this problem, always close the tube tightly right after use.

Question 18

My mouth gets sore – can I use Secure Denture products?

Accepted Answer

We would recommend Secure Sensitive Adhesive. It has the added benefit of soothing Aloe Vera and Myrrh. It combats the problems of gum irritation often caused by ill-fitting dentures. It has the same great hold, but also soothes the mouth.

Question 19

Why does Secure Denture Adhesive have an odor?

Accepted Answer

Secure Denture Adhesive may have a slight odor due to the alcohol content used during manufacturing, which serves as a disinfectant to ensure product hygiene. This scent is temporary and typically disappears within seconds after application, once the alcohol evaporates. The adhesive itself is neutral in taste and odor during wear.

Question 20

When are Secure Cushion Strips used instead of Secure Denture Adhesive?

Accepted Answer

Secure Cushion Strips are used instead of Secure Denture Adhesive when:✅ You have narrow, flat, or very small lower dentures that don’t hold adhesive well✅ Your lower denture doesn’t create enough suction or keeps shifting throughout the day✅ You want a mess-free, pre-measured application — strips are easier to apply than paste✅ You have sensitive gums or prefer a softer, cushioned feel under the denture✅ You’re looking for added stability specifically for lower dentures, where adhesion is more challengingThe Secure Denture Adhesive is great for full coverage and a strong, all-day bond — especially for upper dentures. The Cushion Strips are designed to solve the common comfort and fit issues of lower dentures where paste adhesives might not stay in place or feel bulky.

Question 21

What can be done if you can feel the cushion with your tongue?

Accepted Answer

Patients will feel the cushion only if it was not cut properly. The cushion must be cut as exactly as possible so it will fit the denture perfectly.

Question 22

How can residues from Secure Denture Adhesive or Secure Adhesive Cushions be removed?

Accepted Answer

Because Secure Denture Adhesive is water-insoluble, residues must be removed using a denture cleanser with alkaline properties. Secure Cleansing Tables Ph9 formula is alkaline, will not erode metal, and removes the water non soluble residues of Secure. Regular cleansers may not be effective. Secure Cleansing Tablets are specially formulated for this purpose—they dissolve adhesive residues that other products may leave behind. In addition, the powerful antibacterial formula helps eliminate odor-causing bacteria and plaque, leaving your dentures clean, fresh, and hygienic.

Question 23

How do I use Secure Cleansing Tablets?

Accepted Answer

Brush your dentures under running water using a toothbrush to remove any loose debris.Dissolve one tablet in a glass of warm water (avoid using boiling water).Soak the denture in the solution for at least 10-15 minutes.After soaking, rinse the denture under running water and dry thoroughly before applying denture adhesive.

Question 24

Will the Secure Cleansing Tablets also remove tar and nicotine stains?

Accepted Answer

When Secure Cleansing Tablets are used regularly, the baking soda and peroxide formula cleans even stubborn stains like tar and nicotine, and whitens teeth. If a thorough cleaning is necessary, we recommend leaving the denture in the solvent overnight.

Question 25

Do Cleansing Tablets cause a change in the color of dentures?

Accepted Answer

While it is occasionally observed that dentures may experience changes in surface appearance or color, it is important to understand that these changes are not typically caused by cleansing tablets alone. Several other factors can contribute to discoloration or surface alterations, including:Incomplete polymerization of the denture material during productionA particularly aggressive oral environment, often seen in patients with digestive disorders or other underlying health conditionsBacterial activity that can alter the molecular structure of the denture materialRegular use of certain medicationsFrequent consumption of alcohol, especially hard liquorToothpaste containing chloroform or other harsh ingredientsImproper cleaning methods, such as boiling, using lye, dishwashers, toilet cleaners, scouring powders, scale removers, or other chemicalsTherefore, it’s crucial to follow proper care instructions and use recommended products to maintain the appearance and integrity of your dentures.
