What Causes A Blister On The Inner Lip Of A Person With Loose Dentures?

My dentures are loose and I keep biting my cheeks when I eat. My top denture was just relinefd but my front teeth seem to rub my bottom lip and it causes it to blister and hurt on the inside of my lip. It is painful,will get better for a few days and then starts again.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It seems that along with being loose your denture is also not having appropriate vertical height and angulation of teeth.
Due to this there is rubbing of teeth to the lips there is ulceration of mucosa..
So my suggestion to you to consult a Prosthodontist and get evaluated so that if possible to adjust the present denture then it can be done, otherwise a new denture needs to be fabricated with proper measurements and procedures..
For the sore if it is painful you can apply Lidocaine gel to relieve pain and also do cool compresses..
Also you can wear the dentures presently only if necesaary to avoid discomfort..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
