How Can Painful Ulcers On The Gums Be Treated?

I just got dentures 2 weeks ago but I am now having little white hard bumps that are very sore on several places on my gums, what are they& what can I do to get rid of them, I already rinse with salt water several times a day, remove & properly clean my teeth & my mouth everytime I eat which is very little due to the pain

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

White bumps looks like pressure sores or traumatic ulcers.
They are commonly seen after a new denture and this indicates that you need your denture to be readjusted by your dentist..
Consult your dentist and get your gums as well as denture rechecked.
The pressure points will be relieved and if there are any sharp areas over the denture they will also be smoothed..
For now please do not wear denture to avoid further irritation to the sores.
Gargle with magic mouthwash or others that contains Lidocaine to relieve pain..
Do warm saline gargles and cool water rinses..

Hope this helps..
