Have Dentures With Frequent Sore Mouth And Ulcers, Used Colgate Peroxyl Mouth Sore Rinse. Solution?
Hi I m Elaine, 63 years old I ve been wearing dentures about 10 yrs without success. I have always had problems with the inside of my mouth. As a child I could not even have bubble gum for the ulcers it would cause inside my mouth. So I have grown use to having Sore Mouth I have a huge or what feels like a huge place in the roof of my mouth. As you well know, any foreign object in your mouth feels lots larger than actual. I bought some mouth wash after salt water didn t help, Colgate Peroxyl Mouth sore Rinse, set my mouth a blaze! I continued to use it even up to yesterday, no pain no gain, I thought. This morning I wake up with a full blown sore mouth and a perfect out line of my dentures inside my mouth. My mouth looks like I have the Thrush. I haven t worn them in about 48 hrs. At this point I don t know what to do? Call my MD and ask for something for the thrush?

Maintain good oral hygiene.
Replace the dentures,if causing allergy.
Stop the use of mecications causing allergy.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query ,
Ulcers and sore mouth can be because of irritation by the denture , candidal infections , use of certain medications , nutritional deficiencies .
Oral thrush is due to candidal infection in which there is pain and difficulty in swallowing, a feeling that the food get stuck in the throat and the mid chest area and fever.
Visit the dentist and get the checkup done .
Microscopic examination will confirm the diagnosis.
Maintain a good orl hygiene .
Take vitamin suplements.
Stop medications causing allergy.
Quit smoking habit , if present
Restrict fermented foods which encourage candida growth.
Replace the denture if causing problem .
Hope this helps out .
