\"Dentures<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

You\u2019re struggling to keep your dentures<\/a> in place while you eat and speak, and you\u2019ve heard there\u2019s a magical product that can help: denture adhesive. What they say is true; denture adhesive can keep your restoration from slipping and sliding all over the place. But you\u2019re probably wondering how to actually use <\/em>it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never fear \u2013 these five simple steps will walk you through the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Determine Whether You Need It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many denture adhesive products contain zinc and can cause an \u201coverdose\u201d if you use them too frequently. Plus, if you find yourself using denture adhesive every day, then your dentures probably need relined!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re struggling to adjust to your new prosthetic or need occasional extra support, move on to step two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Choose Your Adhesive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three main types of denture adhesive: creams, powders, and strips. Choosing the right product for you is more about how you\u2019d prefer to apply the adhesive. Creams are ideal if you\u2019re experiencing sores or chafing, powders are quick and efficient, and strips involve little-to-no mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Follow the Product Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each product type is used a little differently, so it\u2019s important to review the product instructions. Generally speaking, though, creams are applied in small doses to avoid overflow, powders are sprinkled on the denture\u2019s underside, and strips must be carefully pressed into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Enjoy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the adhesive is on your denture, insert it and gently bite down for a few seconds. This will help the adhesive bond to your gums. Test the hold a few times if you\u2019d like, then clean up your countertop and enjoy the improved stability!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Remove the Adhesive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not quite done yet, though. At the end of the day, it\u2019s time to remove your dentures and the adhesive. After taking your dentures out, swish warm water around your mouth to loosen the product. Then simply brush your gums, moving in gentle, circular motions as you go. The same method can clean the adhesive off of your dentures; simply rinse and brush them until no adhesive residue remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voila \u2013 <\/em>that\u2019s how you use denture adhesive in five simple steps! If you ever need product recommendations or more advice on properly using your adhesive, don\u2019t hesitate to talk to your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
