Dentures are made to fit precisely and typically do not require use of any type of adhesive. Most fit issues occur with a complete lower denture which may make it necessary to utilize adhesives if implants are not an option. In an emergency, denture adhesives can be used to keep the denture stable until you are able to see your Denturist; but prolonged use of adhesives can lead to gum irritation and eventual, increased bone loss in the jaws. A poorly-fittingdenture which causes constant irritation over a long period, may cause permanent tissue changes and even compromise the fit of any replacement dentures, if your dentures begin to feel loose, you notice more food collection issues or increased discomfort and/or you note that you are using even more adhesive than normal, see your Denturist as soon as possible
