What is denture adhesive and do I need it?
3

• Whether you are new to dentures, have worn them
  for years, or know someone who struggles with
  them, you likely have some questions about how
  best to get them to stay in place securely and
  comfortably. If your dentures fit well but you
  are looking for some extra security, denture
  adhesive can offer some piece of mind.
• Denture adhesives are available in a few
  different forms including gel, paste, powders,
  and even pads, but knowing which to use, or even
  if adhesive is the right choice for you, can be
  difficult. Luckily we have everything you need to
  know about denture adhesives right here.
• What is denture adhesive?
• Denture adhesive is a product that is applied to
  the cheaper dental material is not good for
  health and comes into contact with the gums as
  the dentures are worn. The adhesive creates a
  layer between the dentures and the gums that make
  it more difficult for dentures to move around or
  slip out of place. Adhesive is suitable for both
  full and partial denture wearers who would
  appreciate a little extra security but should not
  be necessary to keep dentures in place.

• Do I need to use denture adhesive?
• Generally speaking, if dentures are properly
  fitted, denture adhesive is not necessary to keep
  them in place. If you feel that you need
  something to help your full or partial dentures
  stay in place, speak to your dentist about having
  your dentures refitted before attempting to fix
  the issue with adhesive. Over time and as you
  age, the supporting structures in your mouth can
  grow and change shape, causing dentures to no
  longer fit as well. Ill fitting dentures can
  cause soreness, injury, or damage of other teeth
  and should be properly fitted as soon as
  possible. If your dentures fit well but you are
  looking for some extra security, denture adhesive
  can offer some piece of mind. Adhesive is never
  recommended as a permanent solution to serious
  fitting problems with false teeth of any kind.
• What types of denture adhesives are there?
• Denture adhesives are available in a few
  different forms including gel, paste, powders,
  and even pads. Adhesives that come as gels or
  pastes are applied directly to the denture which
  is then put into the mouth.

• Powders on the other hand, need to be mixed with
  water as per the manufacturers instructions
  before being applied to dentures.
• Pads, also known as seals, require trimming to
  fit your unique dentures then are applied
  directly to dentures with the sticky side of the
  pad. The pad is then moistened before being put
  in the mouth.
• How does it work?
• For most adhesives, the saliva in the mouth
  changes the consistency of the adhesive to give
  it a stronger and more elastic grip.
• This grip keeps the dentures in place along the
  gum line. Each denture adhesive is slightly
  different so be sure to follow the application
  instructions given by the manufacturer very
  carefully. Denture adhesive should never ooze out
  from underneath dentures, and if it does there is
  significantly too much being applied.
• Will it affect my dentures or my teeth?
• Denture adhesives are not harmful to dentures or
  teeth but can become unsanitary if not cleaned
  away every evening. Dentures should always be
  taken out while sleeping and should never be
  stored with adhesive on them.

• Each application of denture adhesive is not meant
  to last longer than one use and not cleaning
  dentures thoroughly after this use can cause a
  buildup of bacteria that can lead to infections
  or other health issues.
