• When my teeth began to fall out, I was desperate. It seemed to me that it was all over. In general, I was shy not only to smile, but also to talk. After much persuasion from relatives, I went to the dentist to make a denture. When I got a prosthesis, my joy knew no bounds. But it turned out - not so simple. I used different creams to fix the prosthesis, but they did not hold the structure for as long as required. This was very inconvenient. But on the advice of a doctor, I tried to use Korega cream. I felt comfort right away. When using Korega, I know that the cream will not fail. I am very glad that I forgot about the problems associated with the use of the prosthesis.
• Recently acquired removable dentures. On the advice of the dentist I use Korega cream to fix the prosthesis. The advantages of the cream noticed immediately. When using the cream, I do not feel any discomfort when wearing. The prosthesis is easily attached and removed. One application per day is enough for eating food of any hardness, self-confidence. One tube lasts for three weeks.
• I tried to use Korega cream for fixing prostheses, as well as cleansing tablets. The cream is refreshing and neutral a bit weak. I tried an extra-strong fixation cream - it holds the prosthesis well. The main thing is that you need to choose the right cream.
• My mother used Korega cream to fix the prosthesis. I didn’t like the cream. It is soluble in water, washed off with any liquid.
• I have been using fixing cream for over a year. At first, the cream held the prosthesis very well; it could be worn for more than a day. Now the cream lasts only a few hours, reacts to hot food.
• I have foamy saliva from Korega cream, a couple of hours after fixation, the prosthesis starts to fly off.
• It so happened that I lost a lot of teeth. They made a prosthesis. The doctor for comfortable use recommended using Korega cream for fixation. One application of the cream is enough for a whole day. I forget that I have removable dentures. It fixes poorly if applied in large quantities or very little, and also if the prosthesis is poorly dried. I eat everything and drink it hot. In order for the cream to fix well, you must strictly follow the instructions.
