What kind of discomfort can you expect? There may be some irritation to the lining of the mouth or to the gums. If teeth are pulled, your mouth will be sore.
Poor denture hygiene, never removing dentures, alcoholism and less than optimal nutrition contribute to the following potential problems:
- Ulcers
- Injuries
- Fungal infections
- Inflammation
- Cracks in the skin where the upper and lower lips meet
Any problems should be reported immediately to your dentist. Don't wait until a minor irritation or discomfort develops into a true problem.
