Why Dentures Hurt at Night (And What to Do About It)


Introduction

If your dentures hurt more at night, you’re not imagining it. There’s a simple reason for this — and an even simpler solution.

 


 

 Why Dentures Hurt More at Night

1. Your Gums Are Tired

After a full day of chewing and speaking, gums are inflamed.

2. Swelling Increases in the Evening

Natural fluid retention = more pressure.

3. Bacteria Build Up Throughout the Day

Biofilm irritates gum tissue.

4. Dry Mouth Worsens at Night

Less saliva = more friction.

5. Wearing Dentures Overnight Makes It Worse

This leads to soreness AND infection.

 


 

 How to Stop Denture Pain at Night

1. Always Remove Dentures at Night

This reduces inflammation and restores comfort.

 


 

2. Brush Your Mouth Before Bed

Use Cleanadent Paste.
Focus on massaging the gums to improve blood flow.

 


 

3. Brush the Denture

Use Cleanadent Paste (never toothpaste).

 


 

4. Soak Overnight

Use Liquid Crystal overnight to remove irritants.

 


 

5. If You Wake Up Sore, Use Warm Salt Water

Helps reduce swelling.

 


 

6. Use Moisturizing Adhesive During the Day

Use Adhesadent to prevent daytime friction.

 


 

 Conclusion

Dentures hurting at night is usually a sign your gums need rest and your denture needs proper cleaning. Follow the routine above, and nighttime discomfort will drop dramatically.
