Just wasting it. It may ooze out and swallow it
If you are using an excessive amount of denture adhesive, more than likely you need a reline or new denture. Please read the instructions on the packaging.
If you wear dentures and you use excessive amounts of adhesive, it will cause a problem. The dental adhesives occupy space under the denture, this space will cause the gum and sometimes the bone to recede. It will come a time when not even huge amounts of adhesive will hold the denture in place as the fit of the denture will have changed significantly.
