Suggest Remedy For Pain Due To Fitting Of Upper Dentures

Hello,I am a 64yr old woman,189cm tall,50.4kg,no known diseases.I have just had an upper denture fitted,& took for pain Panadol &Ibuprofen for inflammation,until I had to cut them down & virtually out, as I was getting weak & shaky with hypoglycaemia. Have had this occasionally over a number of years,but largely control it with diet.I was wondering if there is safer pain control for this condition?Thankyou for taking the time to reply.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms hypoglycemia is not being caused due to wearing of dentures and in your case as you had this problem since years which you have controlled with diet and as now you are having recurring episodes of hypoglycemia it is an alarming condition and you need proper medications for controlling the condition..

You should immediately consult an ENDOCRINOLOGIST and get evaluated for the exact cause of the hypoglycemia and get treated accordingly..

As far as pain due to denture is concerned there may be some sharp elevation towards the tissue surface of the denture that may be causing injury to the gums leading to pain and discomfort..
Consult your dentist and get it evaluated and get proper corrections done to relieve pain..
You can apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine over the sore areas of gums and can take Ibuprofen for pain and inflammation relief..
Do cold water gargles and suck on ice pops for relief.


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
