I have been treated by my dentist for 4 weeks now for an extremely sore palate . She tells me taht she sees my palatal rugae are inflamed but that there is no sign of specific ulceration/ broken skin but has treated me unsuccessfully for bacterial/ then fungal and finally steroid lozenges to no avail!! Nothing is working. She has also cured my gingival bleeding condition and instilled me with better oral hygiene measures - using interdental brushes and corsodyl but my palate is still agony. She thinks it might eb an allergy but what do you think. Its soooo painful!!!
Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Soreness on palate can be due to-1. Denture dermatitis caused due to dentures or appliances inserted.2.abscess developed due to spread of infection into periapical area through deep caries or periodontal infection. I would suggest you to get a thorough clinical evaluation done. Discontinue use of appliances or dentures causing allergy. Pus if present has to be Chat Doctor. Take care.
