Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain you are suffering from Denture Induced Stomatitis or Denture Sores which can occur due to some sharp points over the tissue surface of denture or can also be due to ill-fitting denture which rubs against the tissues and can cause soft tissue injury..

Due to this there is inflammation of the mucosa leading to redness,pain and formation of ulcers..

You should consult your dentist and get evaluated and in case of sharp points get them smoothenend by trimming..
The fit of the denture has to be checked and repairing has to be done if needed..

As of now you can apply a numbing gel containing Lignocaine over the sores as it will numb the area and provide relief..
Suck on ice pops and do cold water gargles..
Rinse your mouth with an antimicrobial mouthwash..
Wear the denture for small durations intermittently to prevent further injury..
If there is pain you can take Ibuprofen..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
