The great thing about dentures<\/a> is that they can be a good tooth replacement option for almost anyone. The not-so-great thing about dentures is that once in a blue moon, they can give you oral sores. Fortunately, you\u2019re not stuck with these annoying bumps forever! If you\u2019re sick of denture sores, give these home remedies a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First, Let\u2019s Alleviate the Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before treating your denture sores, take a moment to ingest the recommended dosage of an over-the-counter pain medication. It\u2019s typically safe to take them for oral aches, and if you prefer ibuprofen, your body may appreciate the reduced inflammation. Once you\u2019re more comfortable, it\u2019ll be easier to tackle those pesky sores!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brush Your Mouth and Don\u2019t Forget Your Tongue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not careful, denture sores can lead to an oral infection, making your situation much worse. Even more so than usual, good oral hygiene is important for avoiding this risk. Be sure to keep your soft mouth tissues clean, to floss between any remaining teeth, and brush your tongue. Your dentures should get a thorough scrubbing as well \u2013 bacteria can collect underneath and on the surface of your appliance, earning a one-way ticket straight to your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a Saltwater Rinse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting salt on your sores might not sound appealing, but there\u2019s a science to it. Salt has natural antibacterial properties and actually promotes your body\u2019s healing process. To make an effective saltwater rinse, use about \u00bc cup of warm water and \u00bc a teaspoon of salt. Stir until the salt dissolves, then swish the mixture around your mouth for at least 30 seconds. Spit when you\u2019re done, and that\u2019s all there is to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a Break<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The point of your dentures is to help you with everyday oral function. That said, if you don\u2019t take a break from wearing them and remove them at night, you\u2019re not giving your gums and mouth tissue a chance to rest and, in this case, heal. They can circulate a lot better when they\u2019re not shouldering an oral appliance, so with your dentures soaking securely in their cleaning solution, sore-fighting nutrients will flow much more efficiently to your gums!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all else fails, consult with your dentist. Denture sores can sometimes mean your appliance doesn\u2019t fit quite right, and a prolonged case of the oral bumps could certainly mean they need an adjustment. Your dentist will be able to tell with a thorough examination and will help you get back to a comfortable, sore-free life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
