Denture adhesive is a cream applied to the fitting surface of a denture to improve hold and help seal out food particles. Many standard adhesives rely on zinc and synthetic polymers. NaturDent takes a different route, using natural pine resin as its stabilizer and limiting the formula to food-grade ingredients, which makes it a sensible choice for wearers who have avoided adhesives because of their chemical content.

What's inside

• Natural pine resin as the holding agent
• Made only from food-grade ingredients
• Free from zinc, parabens and gluten
• Taste-free formula; not tested on animals
• Compatible with all types of dentures, upper and lower

How to use

Apply a small amount to a clean, dry denture, press into place and hold briefly. The cream is designed for all-day hold, so one application in the morning is typical, and the maker notes that a single tube tends to outlast conventional adhesive tubes. Remove and clean dentures each night as usual. If you notice any gum irritation, stop use and speak with your dentist.

Why we carry it

Zinc-free denture adhesives are not hard to find, but most still lean on synthetic ingredients and flavorings. NaturDent is unusual in using a plant resin base with a short, food-grade ingredient list and no taste, which suits wearers who want a simpler formula without giving up a firm hold on both upper and lower plates.
