BEFORE USING DENTURE ADHESIVE If you wear a full denture, it was

made to fit precisely and its shape should remain permanent. But that, unhappily, doesn't go for your gums. A denture can loosen eventually be- cause of changes in the gums and bone supporting the denture.

If this happens to you, don't try to fix or adjust the denture yourself. That is a definite no-no I You could damage the denture as well as injure your gums.

In an emergency, you can use a powder or paste denture adhesive until you are able to see the dentist When using an adhesive, clean your denture

twice a day and rinse it well under luke- warm water. Before replacing the den- ture in your mouth, clean any adhesive from your mouth with a damp gauze and rinse with water. Don't keep adding powder or paste to improve the denture's fit. Used constantly, denture adhesives can mask infections and cause bone loss in the jaw, making construction of a new denture difficult.

Presented as a public service to pro- mote better dental health. From the of- fice ofJOHN B. MYRES, D.D.S., 700 S. McCarty Avenue, Eagle Lake, 234- 3525.
