Do not use and substance in your mouth that is not intended for intraoral use. Further issues can arise. It is possible that you had a reaction to the poligrip. Dentures should be removed when you are asleep to help prevent a fungal infection on the gingival surface. If you do have a surface infection your dentist can prescribe Mycelex Troches to treat your issue.
