Who this list is for
This checklist is for adults who already wear dentures and are returning to their dentist for a follow-up adjustment. If you have noticed sore spots, slipping, clicking, or discomfort with your dentures, this list will help you prepare for a productive appointment.
How to use this list
Start by gathering your photo ID and dental insurance card. Confirm your denture adjustment appointment and bring the confirmation with you. Place your full or partial dentures in a clean denture case, and pack your current denture adhesive. Make notes about any sore spots or specific issues, such as slipping or clicking, and, if possible, take photos of gum irritation to show your dentist.

Common mistakes
People often forget to bring their actual dentures or the denture case, which can delay the appointment. Leaving out notes about specific discomforts—like where the denture rubs or clicks—can make it harder for your dentist to help. Some patients forget their current adhesive or payment method, which can complicate the visit. Double-check that you have all the requested items before leaving home.
