RE: Removing Denture Adhesive from My Mouth
I found my solution for this. I'm using now Sea-Bond. Is easy to use, and easier to remove. I only have to rinse my mouth after use to feel my mouth fresh, no residue whatsoever. None in the dentures either, I only peel off the wafer and rinse the denture. Is a little more expensive but from my perspective worth it. I hope this can help.

If you use the powder kind it is easier and a lot less messy. It only leaves a light film that normal brushing takes off. Hope this helps.

It's nice to know that everyone agrees on how to do this. One post says use the hottest water you can stand and the next one says suck on an ice cube. I know brushing it off doesn't work and picking it off with your fingers is messy. What's left?

You can also just use a toothpick to remove obvious dental adhesive from your front teeth....It's great for temporaries/flippers - to keep them comfortable and in place at the same time.

Thank you for asking this. I thought I was the only one. I have a little plastic flipper/partial, and if I get too much gunk on it, it gets all over the inside of my mouth. You know how it is. I just use as little gunk as possible.
If your dentures are loose, you can always buy a box of liners. They're cheap at Walmart.

I had problems as well. My dentist showed me what to do... Use water as hot as is comfortable. Swish it around and it 'melts' the glue. (no matter what kind you use) Did you ever notice that when you eat hot foods, your dentures get loose?

Cold, cold water is the key. Even suck on an ice cube for a few seconds and it will come off quite easily.

I found that, by putting only a very small amount of adhesive on my denture, I didn't have any residue, but it still held the denture in all day long. God bless you.

If you want to take your dentures out and you just put them in with adhesive...use this old trick. Eat a piece of chocolate. believe it or not, this works well. Something in the chocolate makes the denture adhesive breakdown. This also helps in removing the "extra" adhesive from your mouth..and what a fun way!! Good luck!

I wash my hands and use a paper towel to pull the adhesive. This works very well for me. Also my fingers will get the rest.

The following site ( http://www.fixodent.com/tips_qa.html ) has this advice for their product:
"How do I remove adhesive residue?
To remove adhesive residue from your dentures, use a denture cleanser such as Fixodent® Denture Cleanser System with ProGuard. To remove adhesive residue from your mouth, gums, tongue, and palate, brush the roof of your mouth and gums with a soft-bristled toothbrush, toothpaste such as Crest®, and comfortably hot water." I hope this helps :)
