It is very common to experience some discomfort or
sore spots
shortly after receiving new dentures. These areas of irritation occur where the denture base rubs against the sensitive soft tissues of the mouth. This is a normal part of the adjustment process as your gums adapt to the pressure of the new appliance.
This guidance has been withdrawn while it awaits confirmation by a registered dentist. Please consult a registered dentist for advice on this point.
A registered dentist can easily relieve these sore spots by thinning or smoothing the specific area of the denture base. Multiple appointments are often required during the first few months to fine-tune the fit. As the tissues in your mouth settle and the initial swelling subsides, the comfort of the dentures generally improves significantly.
In India, many people may use home remedies for mouth sores, but these will not fix a poorly fitting denture. Persistent irritation can lead to infections or overgrown tissue if left unaddressed. Regular professional check-ups ensure that the dentures distributed the pressure evenly and that your oral mucosa remains healthy and free from chronic inflammation.
