Question:
I have used many different denture adhesives such as Fixodent gel, powder, and Cushion Grip, and those cushion pads.
Unfortunately, because I have an oral fixation, I generally move them around from time to time with my tongue loosening them after 2-3 hours sometimes less. Once they are loose, I mess with them almost constantly, which irritates my gums.
If I keep adhesive on tight my gums do not get irritated at all, but I must do it aggravatingly often. The dentures have been fixed and fit perfectly.
I am low income and have no medical insurance, so getting something like implants isn't an option. Is there a denture adhesive that holds much better? I wish they could be glued permanently. ... Visitor from MI
Answer:
Not that we are aware of.
As an alternative, you might try consulting with a speech therapist to investigate deprogramming of your tongue movements, or tongue behavior.
This type of therapy is often recommended for "tongue thrusters" who cause their own conditions
of overbite and bucked teeth.
