Brief Answer:
Not related to allergy,check blood sugar levels

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I understand your concern.

It is common to have problems with dentures especially for first time. That is not related to the allergy problem you have.

You should talk with your dentist to change to a more potent glue. If still no success, then implant should be considered.

Get your blood sugar checked as sometimes, diabetes will contribute to non sticking dentures.

Hope it was of help.
