What Is The Cause For Redness And Swelling Of Gums Under Partial Denture? Will Amoxicillin Help?
I have 3 false teeth, bottom, front. I have been wearing them for about 1 month, no problems. Now my lower gums on the inner left side are red and swollen and sore. Is this an infection. I do have a few amoxicillin tablets - would then help if this is an infection?

Hello,
Yes it can be infection of gums or it can also be possible that the denture is hurting on gums, so i think you should visit your dentist from where you got your denture made as he will examine the gums and denture and get the problem relieved.
Please do not start any medication on your own.
Thank you
