If the denture does not fit well, it may press in areas and cause pain. We have to remember that the gums were not designed to hold a denture. So by having a denture as large as possible and covering as much area as possible, no one area gets an excessive amount of pressure and there's going to be less incident of pain. All that said, if you get something under your denture it is going to be painful. You have to make sure that your dentures are kept clean at all times.
