Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Gums
Question: I have a sore gum from dentures a runny nose , Dentist can not find anything wrong I use warm salty water it helps a little but not a lot
Brief Answer:
Ill fitting denture
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thnx for consulting HCM.
I have gone through your query. Sometimes swollen gums can be due to infection. In that case a mouth scaling (cleaning) can be done. For mild swelling metronidazole mouth gel like Reidine M forte gel can be used.
Sore gums can be due to ill fitting denture. If that's the case then your dentist can smoothen the denture for correct fitting.
Hope this answer helps.
