Suggest Medication For Mouth Ulcers From A Broken Denture

I have a partial denture and the end of it has snapped off leaving a sharp edge. This has given me a very sore ulcer and i now cannot eat or wear the dentures which rub against the ulcer. I cannot get into my dentists for three weeks. What can i do and how can i stop this from hurting so much?

Hello,

I had read your query and can understand your concerns.

Normally a broken denture with a sharp edge do cause the formation of ulcer due to the irritation to the tissues.It is advisable not to wear the denture till it is repaired or the sharp edges are rounded.

I would suggest you to avoid wearing the denture for a while though you have to keep it in water till it is repaired.

Application of mucogel/dentogel ointment on the ulcer will provide the remedy.The ulcer should heal within a week or so.Use of mild antiseptic mouthwash is helpful.

Hope this helps.
