When you get a new denture whether it is the first or not it feels foreign because it is. However, each day gets better and your mouth will adapt usually to the denture. I always work on my speech with a new denture and take it out if my mouth is sore. This does happen from time to time and I usually have a bit of ice cream which feels really good on the gums. Another thing that I recently tried that is making my gums stronger is a Vitamin C fizzy powder called EmergenC w/ 1000 mg of Vitamin C. I had heard about and thought "another vitamin". I put this in water every morning and drink up. This is a great product and comes in many flavors. Most stores carry this near the vitamins.
