Your denture discomfort doesn’t have to be part of your daily routine bringing you sore gums. At Christina Brinda DDS in North Canton, we’re here to help you wear your dentures comfortably from the first day. Follow these five proven steps to enjoy a pain free experience.

1. Get Your Dentures Professionally Adjusted

Even “good-fitting” dentures may need tweaks after insertion. A professional adjustment by your North Canton Dentist can relieve pressure spots and offer immediate relief from pain.

2. Re-line or Re-base as Needed

As your mouth changes over time, even permanent dentures can lose their fit. A re-line or re-base adapts them to your current oral anatomy, restoring function and comfort.

3. Use Safe Pain Relief and Soothing Home Remedies

For temporary relief:

  • Use warm salt‑water rinses to soothe sore spots
  • Apply an over the counter oral gel (like benzocaine) for localized numbness
  • In emergencies, follow your dentist’s guidance on safe OTC pain relievers

4. Remove Dentures at Night and Moisturize Them Properly

Giving your gums a nightly break promotes healing. Soak your dentures overnight in a denture safe solution or water to maintain their shape and cleanliness.

5. Visit Your Dentist at Any Sign of Persistent Pain

Discomfort that lingers isn’t normal. Schedule a visit your dentist can assess fit, check for inflammation, and recommend long term solutions like implants or relines.
