There may be some confusion surrounding denture adhesives because there are many adverts on television concerning them. However, most dentists will tell you that adhesives are not necessary because dentures should be secure enough without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people may use denture adhesive if their dentures become slightly loose. However, this is not advisable because loose dentures can cause irritation and pain in the gums and it is much more beneficial to see your dentist, rather than start using an adhesive. Most dentists recommend relining dentures every two years and regular check-ups will allow dentists to check the fit of the dentures. If they start to become loose, they may need adjusting and your dentist can arrange this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
