My mum has just had dentures fitted and says the bottom set is loose and needs tons of adhesive to stay in place. Even then, she finds chewing difficult.
Is this normal to begin with? Does anyone have any tips I can pass on?
If your mum doesn`t have any teeth at all in the lower jaw, and the gums have shrunk long enough then they will tend too, as the denture adhesive will ooze out no matter what, espeacially with hot tea etc,and meals, but tell her to not use too much adhesive as it may interfere with any other medication she takes, and be sure to read the instructions carefully on the back of the box.
It's normal and she will get used to it over time. Tell your mom to read this article if she has more denture questions http://www.cheapdentures.org/questions/
