AnswerBank Answer:
My dentures don't feel as comfortable as they once did. What should I do?
Seek the treatment of your dentist. Never try to change the shape of your dentures yourself in the hopes of making them fit better. You can cause damage that will make the denture un-repairable. Also, never clean or soak dentures in household bleaches or cleaning fluids.
Your gums and the bone supporting them changes shape as you age, so your dentures may begin to feel loose. Dentures need to be adjusted to make them fit properly again as your mouth shape changes. See your dentist as soon as possible. In an emergency, use a denture adhesive to keep your dentures stable until your appointment.
