    Wrigleys used to do a gum called 'Freedent' which didn't stick to dentures - I know, cos I chewed it when I had a brace when I was 14.

    So that must have been !!!!!! years ago. (Oh, has the page censored it?).

    Don't know if it's still around.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
