Wore Dentures, Gums Became Sore. Is This Normal?
I recently had a 2 pair of dentures made and wore them home from the dentist office. After I got home my gums were so sore that I could not even put the old pair in my mouth. For 3 days I could not stand for anything to touch my gums they were so sore. Is this normal?

Hello, thank you for consulting with us.
Sometimes when new dentures are made they are slightly uncomfortable to the patient, as new impressions are made that is why the patient is recalled on the next day for follow up.
But this kind of soreness is not common that you are not able to wear even the old dentures, so it is better that you should visit your dentist, for the follow up.
