If a dab has turned into a generous line, and you’re still not sure your denture will stay put, something may have changed. Learn why retention can fade, what might be done, and how to have yours checked at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Adhesive is a common part of many wearers’ routines, so its use often creeps up without much thought. You add a bit more each month, then carry the tube with you, and eventually you’re planning your day around whether your teeth will hold. That’s a lot of mental effort for something you’d rather not think about.
Tissue changes, wear, bite changes and damage can each affect how well a denture stays in place. Needing more help than before is a good reason to have things looked at. An assessment determines whether an adjustment, a reline or a replacement is appropriate, and you can ask how adhesive fits into your own situation.

A growing need for adhesive may reflect changes in your mouth or your denture that deserve an assessment.
Tissue, wear, bite and damage are all possible reasons, and each can lead to a different solution.
It’s fine to ask whether adhesive makes sense for your denture, and how to clean it away.
To understand why a denture has started to slip, it helps to know what was keeping it steady to begin with. That depends on your design.
Replacing a whole arch means leaning on tissues and jaw shape alone for support. As they change, the once-close match between them and the appliance can loosen.
A partial draws on your remaining teeth as well as your tissues for planned retention. When something changes with those teeth, the way it holds can change too.
If you’d like a more secure option than a conventional denture, ask about it. Suitability depends on your assessment.
Here’s what might happen when you come in about a denture that won’t stay in place. Your visit will depend on what the dentist finds.
Request your visitExplain how long it’s been going on, when it’s worst, and how much adhesive you tend to use on an average day.
The soft tissues, any remaining teeth, your jaw relationship and the denture you’re wearing are all reviewed as part of the exam.
You’ll hear what seems to be driving the problem. An adjustment, relining or replacement could be discussed, depending on those findings.
Retention, function and any pressure areas get another look following treatment, and follow-up can be planned if your mouth needs time.
No one needs an exact number, but a rough sense of how often you apply adhesive, and how much, is useful. It may also help to wear your denture as you normally would for your visit.
If the visit may lead to further treatment, ask about estimates and scheduling so you can weigh your choices with enough information.
The front desk, and seating in the waiting room.
Staying on guard during every conversation and every meal is tiring. You’re welcome to explain the moments when you feel least secure, so you can ask about those directly.
Taking smaller bites and chewing evenly on both sides can improve stability while your fit question gets sorted out.
If you’ve learned to hold your denture in place with your tongue or lips, it’s worth mentioning that habit.
Movement and rubbing often go together. A sore spot should be brought in for adjustment rather than padded with extra product.
Cleaner, simpler routines
If you’re wearing adhesive, cleaning off what’s left behind becomes part of the daily job. Your clinic can explain what’s recommended for your denture and tissues.
Remove your denture, then brush it thoroughly with a suitable brush and a cleanser recommended for its materials.
Give your gums, your tongue and any natural teeth a proper clean, so that nothing lingers on the tissues.
Even after a fit is improved, tissues continue to change. Keep up your reviews so that any slipping gets noticed early.
A denture that’s suddenly loose after damage, or a mouth that’s become painful, is a reason to phone the clinic.

Helpful details about dentures in Parkview Pointe.
Ask our teamThe answer depends on your particular denture, so ask at your visit. If you find you need more than before, treat it as a reason to have the fit assessed.
No one will criticize you for using it. Please mention it, and ask whether it’s appropriate for your denture and how the dentist would suggest using it.
Jaw and gum tissues continue to change after teeth are lost. Wear on the appliance and changes to your bite can also make a difference to how it stays in place.
No one can promise that ahead of time. A reline may be an option if your assessment points to it, and you can ask what difference it might make for you.
You can ask about snap-in dentures, which are removable dentures retained by implants, along with other options. Suitability depends on an assessment of your mouth.
It could be masking a change in fit, which is why having it looked at makes sense. An exam also covers your oral tissues and any remaining teeth.
