Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2004Denture cleaner
Roy, I'm wondering what you recommend for at home denture/partial denture cleaning. Then I'm wondering what you would recommend for a dependent person for denture cleaning. PS. I have not made it to Canada as yet. I'm working on getting some loose ends tied up, this is a loose end. Shirley Gutkowski, RDH, BSDH "Everbody wants to save the earth - nobody wants to help Mom to do the dishes." - P. J. O'Rourke ~~~~~~~~~ http://www.dentistry.com/poralhealth_02.asp Plain old dish soap in warm water and a soft tooth brush after every meal. Plus when the dentures come out before going to bed. (In the water they are less likely to fall and break) A 10-15 minute soak in plain white vinegar once or twice a week will soften up any calculus and keep the microbial population at bay. Works well with candidas. Augment that with the various tablets every now and then and that is all that should be needed. If they really want to scrub, use a paste of baking soda and dish soap. GSK Glaxo Smith Kline have put together a nice sample kit. If they don't distribute them south of the border let me know & I will send you one of the many they drop off at my office. I'm not sure what you mean by a dependent person. If you are speaking of institutionalized, I might suggest using a cold soak weekly after reading the literature recently posted on pneumonia.

The kit has PolyDent and PolyGrip in it, but not sure what else. Those are USAian products, so GSK exists chez-vous, perhaps under a different name. Have to admit, Roy, I've been tellin' 'em for years to use the ol' dishsoap over a full sink (safety net) and they get all disappointed. Y'all are gonna have to bait and switch the dishsoap into another container and call it ROY'S Nat-chur-el Claker Kleener.... They'll only buy it if you put the price is at 100$ or more. And when yer a millinaire, remember ya herd it frum muself Cheers SP SignatureNot a real Addy, yet >> >You sure can. The handouts would be nice touch. Does GSK give out the >> >kits down there?

There has been a trend for companies to change their names to international names, making them more palatable to foreign markets. For example American Conglomerate Incorporated might have trouble selling their products to those with anti American sentiments. OTOH switching the name to ACI at the same time the company is refocusing its products or markets makes them identifiable without indicating history. At one point of time they have made widgets, now they may only provide widget development and support having stopped widget production a quarter century ago. International Business Machines is a good example, switching to IBM has allowed them to maintain identity while they migrated away from their origin of business machines such as typewriters and calculators. A large segment of IBM is the service and support that they provide and has very little to do with "machines". Mega companies get money from 2 sources. Selling products and investors. Linking the two with the same name facilitates marketing for both sources. Check out a recent name change for Patterson http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=pdco . Now imagine you are an investor that has seen something they have started doing with their AbilityOne Products Corp. division and think it will take off. There is no correlation between this name and the stock market ticker PDCO. Think about what has been happening with corporate name changes. A name no longer signifies the product and allows the company flexibility to change form over time. Bell telephone no longer is suitable for what the company does, OTOH Bell Globalmedia links the various divisions together.
