What Causes Burning Pain In Gums?

I've recently had some dental work done over the last several months, back tooth pulled and had a partial denture made. The partial denture is an upper denture to replace lost teeth on both my right and left side, I only have 5 upper teeth because of previous lost teeth. Now my gums hurt, its a burning pain that hurts, the pain is primarily on the left side where the back tooth was pulled, the pain is also under my partial and lower left side. Do you have any idea why I should have such burning pain? thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query pain in gums can be due to inflammation in gums it can be due to gingivitis or it can be due to periodontitis also and there moght be possibility of
Ill fifitting partial denture or sharp or irregular surface of denture .
I will suggest to consult oral surgeon for examination of denture and gums if needed go for oral prophylaxis , inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 - 3 times a day and you can apply gum paint on gums .

Hope this will help you.
