What Causes Awful Smell In My Dentures?

I just had 9 extractions and immediate full upper plate put in. This all happened 4 days ago. I saw the dentist yesterday and he said every thing is healing fine. When I take the denture out to rinse, it smells just awful, like a meat rendering plant. Is this normal? Did my dentist miss something?

thanks for your query, the denture what you are using is immediate denture and the tissues are still healing so there are more chances of food lodgement between the denture and tissues...so soon after eating anything rinse your mouth and clean your denture with denture cleanser..rinse your mouth with mouth wash..i hope my answer will help you..
