I had 5 teeth removed and a denture fitted 5 days ago, everything is healing well apart from an ulcer which is not related to an extraction site, I think the denture has rubbed at some point, I am taking vitamin and mineral supplements whilst i heal - what other measures can I take to ensure quick healing
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The ulcer could be because of the sharp edges of the denture. Stop using the denture for 3 days. If it is a traumatic ulcer, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel. Apply 3-4 times daily before food. Do saline gargling. If the lesion does not heal in 5-7 days then consult an oral physician and get it examined. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
