If the dentures are new without extractions, I give out coracaine. It is an adhesive with a topical agent to help sore spot. Usually, there is an area of positive acrylic that needs to be adjusted. Have your dentist adjust sore spots. You need to wear your denture for the dentist to see the sore area better and the corresponding area of denture. Coracaine is made by GC America. I have it purchased off Amazon before.
You need to check with the dentist if you have some extra pressure points or there are sharp bones after old extractions. If the pressure points are reduced, they will not be painful. It will always be a bit of pressure with new prothese, it takes 2weeks-3 months to get used to it. And, of course, hygiene is very important.
