This stuff is terrible. Doesn't hold at all even after having dentures adjusted... and 3.00+ an ounce is robbery for senior citizens.

If you read my previous review of Fixodent Denture Adhesive Cream you know that I have no complaints. But a friend recommended that I try Fixodent Adhesive Powder. Why? The sheer convenience of the powder and a superior hold. And, after using it for a few months I have to agree. **Why so Convenient?** When you use an adhesive cream, after cleaning the denture, the best results are obtained only if you thoroughly dry each plate. From experience I can tell you that properly drying a well-made denture takes a bit of time. It's not terrible, but it does take time. Powder is a completely different story. **Application** Again, you have to start out with a clean denture. I rinse it in hot water and then apply a line of powder around the entire gum channel while just dusting the palette. I shake off any excess powder and then press first the top in place and hold for a few seconds before repeating the same (minus the palette) for the bottom. I bite down to assure a proper alignment and I'm done. That's it! At least for me it provides an entire days hold. Another advantage of a powder adhesive is that you never experience the ooze you may get with applying too much cream adhesive. For many, that's a big improvement. Powder Adhesives tend to work best on good fitting dentures. Unlike creams they lack the cushioning volume of a cream. But then even cream adhesives work best on good fitting dentures. Lesson learned? Don't skimp on adjustments and relines of your dentures. You'll get better fit and fewer sore spots if any when they fit properly. **Bottom Line** While I continue to use both cream and powder adhesives, my preference is for Fixodent Powder Adhesive. I've also tried Polident's Powdered Adhesive. It's simply not a substitute for Fixodent. I highly recommend it.

My husband loves this product and uses it faithfully for his upper dentures . It lasts long even when you drink a lot of cold or hot drinks like his ice tea. Fixodent denture adhesive powder is long lasting and when it says "Extra Hold" it is telling you the truth. You don't have to ever worry again about your dentures coming loose when dining out for dinner,when having drinks with friends or at home entertaining your guests. Fixodent is the best denture adhesive powder that money can buy,and its priced just right. So, if you are tired are always redoing your dentures to keep them in place all day long,then give Fixodent a try. You will definately see and feel the difference right away. No more,oops ever again. It comes in convenient sizes. Right after you clean your dentures leave them wet. Then use the powder and cover the entire denture with a thin layer of powder. Shake the excess powder off and press your dentures into place and hold them for a few seconds or more,depending on your dentures.
