Hello Anne, Last year, at 52 years old, I had all of my uppers pulled. My dentist took before and after photos. I opted for implants and in a few months my...
I am hoping that when I get my perms after my gums quit healing/shrinking, that I won't have to use adhesives at all. Right now, it would be impossible to go...
I understand...You are probably right about that :-) Because of my implants, a good portion of my bone was saved, so I didn't have much shrinkage. The whole...

What product does a good job of cleaning dentures. The ubiquitous tablets for overnight cleaning don't do a great job of cleaning and whitening for me. I had...
Has anyone else heard the late night ads about the perils of Polident, etc? The ads are for lawyers looking for clients, but they're saying that the creams...
It's all about the zinc, which CAN cause neurological problems. You have to ingest a LOT of it, but if you really want to avoid it, try Secure, it has no zinc,...

Hi, Paul. My dentist gave me a little recipe if you want to call it that. Take a cup of warm water and 1 tsp. bleach, plus 1 tsp. of powdered dishwashing...
