Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have swollen gums don't worry it can be due to denture may be due to sharp edges of denture hurts you causing pain and that hurts you tongue also.  You consult dentist and go for denture trimming if there is shape edges.  You do proper cleaning of denture.  Apply ointment McCoppin or Colonel on painful area of tongue twice daily.  Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you.
