Denture Which Rubs Incisive Papilla. Denture Adjustment Suggested. Chances Of Carotid Artery Damage?
I have a denture which now rubs on the incisive papilla. Doctor said to get the denture adjusted. DONE. THAT pain is now gone. OK so here is the serious question: could that 3+ month irritation have done any damage to the carotid artery? There is now a small bump on the artery and neck pressure makes it really noticed. OR is the carotid artery issue just a coincidence? (YES, had a CT scan done and will be seeing a doctor about the scan in 2 days --- but I want to know.) thank you. fred
Arteries are deep seated while veins are superficial,therefore it is nowhere related.
Irritation on incisive papilla can damage the surrounding capillaries,nerves and veins and thus causing inflammation and infection,but no damage to artery is possible.
Therefore please do not correlate.it requires attention.
The bump on the carotid artery should be well examined and treated for the cause.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
