What is denture adhesive and do I need it?

  • 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.
  • More information
  • cheaper dental material To learn more about
    whether or not you should be using denture
    adhesives, to find out if your dentures need
    resizing, or for any other inquiries, speak to
    your dentist. If you do not currently have a
