Dental powder for your dentures

Dental powder for your dentures

Fasteeth Alkaline Dental Powder was sold in the United States until the mid-1950s. The powder was used to form a film on dental dentures to keep them in place to allow a person to eat and drink without fear of their dentures falling out of the mouth. This size container was given to patients by the dentist as a sample. The powder could then be purchased at the local pharmacy. This one and a half inch tin belonged to Ruth Lozier Campbell (1898-1987). You can see this small tin in the medical exhibit on Nurse Chadwick’s shelf.
