Can Using Mouthwash Cure Sores In Mouth Caused By Dentures?
I have sores in my mouth from my dentures and cannot seem to get rid of them. I have used anbesol and left my dentures out for a few days. while this has relieved some of the pain, it has not gotten rid of the soreness. Is there a mouthwash I can use to help heal.

Hello and welcome.
Denture sores occurs due to ill fitting dentures.Are you wearing a new dentures?or your denture is too old and has become ill fitting?
Please rectify these points by visiting your dentist.
If required the rough edges can be smoothened by your dentist and it should help.
Also you can use Hexidine mouth wash for a week.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
