Why Your Gums Hurt When Eating With Dentures (And How to Fix It)

Introduction

If your gums hurt when you eat with dentures, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common challenges for new and experienced denture wearers — but it’s almost always fixable.

Here’s why it happens and how to stop gum pain quickly.

Top Reasons Your Gums Hurt When Eating

1. Dirty Dentures

Biofilm irritates the gums.
Fix: Clean with Cleanadent Paste + soak nightly in Liquid Crystal.

2. Not Cleaning Your Mouth

Inflamed gums = food pain.
Fix: Brush gums, tongue, cheeks with Cleanadent Paste twice daily.

3. Dry Mouth

Dryness = friction = soreness.
Fix: Sip water + use Adhesadent for moisturizing comfort.

4. Denture Movement

Rocking or lifting creates hot spots.
Fix: Chew evenly + use Adhesadent.

5. Hard or Crunchy Foods Too Soon

Start with soft foods and introduce tougher ones gradually.

6. Pressure Spots From Fit Issues

If certain areas hurt consistently, a quick dentist adjustment fixes it.
