Suggest Remedies For Pain In Upper Gums And A Nodule After Denture Removal

After six months complete extractions for dentures there is a hard nodule on left upper gum that causes pain on the left side into the temple area. When I put pressure on the nodule area with my tongue the pain will subside. Had nodule removed by oral surgery and for a few days it was better, but the pain and nodule have returned.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query, as you have nodule after complete extraction it can be bony spicule present in jaw , this can be reduced by surgical procedure Alveoloplasty or that nodule can be fibroma growth in jaw treated by excision dont worry if there can be regeneration of growth it can be induced by denture may be irritation fibroma for this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for investigations of growth if needed go for biopsy of nodule and if there is any piont in denture causing pressure in jaw or ulceration in oral mucosa go for adjustment of denture as early as possible , Do warm saline rinses.

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
