Hello,
Thanks for your query.
You can treat gum sores from dentures by first taking them off so that the gums can relax and then clean them well. Rinse your mouth with warm salty water. It is also important to note that you should not wear them for a long period of time to avoid them from hurting your gums.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
