Which kind of denture adhesive is best for chewing food?

I tried using Fixodent but my bottom plate won't stay in place when I try to chew anything. Is there something better to hold it in place?

    I often find that bottom dentures are loose because the patients has

    -little to no bone remaining

    -needs a reline

    -or both

    -sometimes needs to go to an advanced denture such as an implant supported denture.

    -in the mean time, use a zinc free adhesive

    Seek your local dentist for evaluation and treatment.

    You can have your denture relined and that may help. Over time, your gums do shrink.
