Cushion Grip denture adhesive is a long-lasting type of denture adhesive. People can use the same Cushion Grip denture adhesive on their dentures for four days. Some people use the same denture adhesive for even longer though the directions suggest that the adhesive is replaced every four days.
The dentures should not be kept in the mouth for the duration of this adhesive. The dentures can be removed and soaked in clean water overnight. The adhesive should still work when the dentures are worn the next day. At the end of the four day cycle, the person should replace the used adhesive with new adhesive.
Schering Plough is the pharmaceutical company that makes Cushion Grip Thermoplastic denture adhesive. The Schering Plough company is in the process of merging with Merck. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.
Cushion Grip adhesive is applied to the denture in pea-sized drops. People often use six evenly spaced pea-sized drops for the upper denture. Some people have had difficulty using this denture adhesive on lower dentures, but many have not had problems.
After the Cushion Grip Thermoplastic denture adhesive is applied to the dentures, the dentures should be placed in the mouth. Firm but gentle pressure sets the adhesive. People who use this product suggest slowly biting down to secure the dentures.
Any adhesive that enters the mouth from under the dentures should be wiped away with a clean, damp washcloth. Hands should be washed after applying this product in case some of the adhesive has gotten on the fingers.
Many positive customer reviews about Cushion Grip denture adhesive say that this adhesive makes the dentures more comfortable. People also say that this adhesive does not have a bad taste that they have experienced with other denture adhesives.
Many people complain that Cushion Grip adhesive is hard to find. For people who cannot find this denture adhesive in stores, there are many drug stores and other merchants on the Internet that sell this product. This have always been the main consumer complaint about Cushion Grip denture adhesive for the lack of availability in local stores.

Hi Sue Nolan, Cushion Grip Denture Adhesive should be readily available in major stores. If you would like, you may ask your dentist for advice on which is the more appropriate product suitable for you as he can access and give you a better picture.
I hope this helps.
