Denture Glue

Before removing your dentures, rinse your mouth with warm water or a mouthwash. Remove your lower denture by pulling gently with a rocking motion. To remove your top denture, place your thumb against the front teeth and then press upward and outward in the direction of your nose. Use a denture cleanser to clean the glue off your dentures, and use a soft-bristled toothbrush with toothpaste and warm water to remove the denture adhesive from your mouth.

One application of denture glue should last all day. If you find that you’re having to apply denture glue more than once a day, you may need to speak to your dentist so they can check if they fit properly.

Apply denture glue to your dentures once a day when they are clean and dry. Apply in short strips, using a small amount at first and using more if needed. If you use too much glue, oozing may occur. If this happens, use less the next time you apply your denture adhesive.

If you wear dentures, it’s very important to soak them overnight to prevent them from losing their shape.

You can soak them in any clean container using tap water or distilled water, but regularly using a cleansing solution can help to keep them clean.

When using a cleansing solution, always thoroughly rinse your dentures the next morning.

If your denture adhesive doesn’t seem to be lasting long enough, it’s likely that your dentures don’t fit properly. If your dentures are too loose, even the strongest denture glue won’t be able to keep them in place.
