I verecently had all my teeth extracted for dentures ,age 76. I have had a bit of trouble with the dentures not fitting correctly as they seem to fall out when I eat so I have been eating the last two weeks with them out and have not had a real issue however, this morning I woke up to the rood of my mouth being sore,soreness when I touch the roof with my tongue ,I cannot recall eating anything too hot. I do have a mouthwash that was prescribed to me..not sure if that could be a cause due to the ingredients possibly.
Hello and welcome, As your dentures are ill-fitting and not in harmony with the oral tissue, it is obvious to get soreness. ill-fitting dentures may have sharp edges or borders that impinge on the oral mucosa leading to tissue irritation and inflammation. It is common in the places where the dentures rest like the hard and soft palate and the Julius areas. Inflammed tissue is sensitive and makes eating difficult. I suggest you to consult a dentist and get the selective grinding of the denture done in harmony with the oral tissues. Till then discontinue placing denture, apply Denote, an oral antiseptic anesthetic ointment on the inflamed areas which helps in tissue healing. Mouth rinsing with chlorhexidine gives soothing effect. I hope this helps you, take care.
