“How much denture adhesive should I use?”
I am a 42 year old female. I want to know how much denture adhesive should I use?

The smallest amount that can do the job. You have to experiment what amount does the job for you.
None if the denture fits properly
It depends on how well your denture fits. If you feel like you need a lot, you might need a new denture. Most adhesives have good instructions on how much should be sufficient.

As little as possible, but as much as you need to achieve a good result. After awhile, a denture needs to be refitted or relined for adequate function

Enough to keep your denture in place.
It depends how well the denture fits. You have to use more if it fits poorly.
A single bead of adhesive, the width of the tube opening should be enough for the lower denture. A single bead around the perimeter of the upper denture, with 3 in the center of it should be enough for the upper denture. You will have to get your dentures re-lined or replaced if you need more than that.
Pea size on 2-4 places
