Hi. Seven months ago I got upper dentures. I changed dentists because my mouth had such big huge bones that my dentures wouldnt fit right and it was very painful. My new dentist referred me to an oral surgeon for alveoplasty and to remove two mandibular toris under my tongue. Needless to say, my mouth is now full of dissolving stitches. My question is...how do I clean the nasty thick white buildup all over my gums? Rinsing with salt water isnt removing it. Since I cant brush because of so many stitches, what can I do?
With your query, what you see those nasty thick white tissues or plaques are nothing but healing tissues or granulation tissue so please don't disturb those healing process by doing so may disturb or delay the wound healing. Kindly don't bother those and leave them like that f you are so much discomfortable along with the warm saline gargling with your finger you can try to with mild pressure clean those ares. This healing process may take 7-14 days. For any further suggestions or treatment you can consult your dentist. Hope this helps you
