I have been through this process and found a few things that made it easier. first is warm salt water, helps the soreness and cleans better than anything else. Rinsenol a product by GUM is the best thing for soothing sore gums. I pour it into the denture itself, I wear my dentures 24/7 and it has taken a little longer maybe to heal but I cannot sleep or look at myself without them. The next thing is powder adhesive is far superior to any gels or blobs of glue you can use. Hope this helps

Thanks for the help. I am new to dentures and the soreness is gone. I use the paste stuff in the morning and after dinner at night- it is a mess and I hate "the regluing process". A guy I know has been wearing them for 30 yrs and he loves his and never needs adhesive. Is that normal? If I don't have adhesive in there my teeth flop around and I can't talk. Should I go a refit or wait a few mths, its been about month with my dentures. Thanks, sooner

 I have had top plate for over 40 years.  I never needed any adhesive with the top one.  I just got a bottom and new top one less than 2 weeks ago. ( still not using adhesive on the top ) but am using it on the bottom. 

I have kind of "practiced" with the tops.. bypushing up with my toungue.. and kind of making a suction with my mouth.. I think this helps the top of the mouth to fit tightly to the plate.

 I am adjusitng to having both now..
