Teeth/gum problem help?

my mom recently pulled her 2 remaining teeth out. she wears the fake teeth. (sorry-forgot what its called)... so while she is waiting for the new sets of teeth( which comes in a month time) she is using the old one. but she is complaining that her gum hurts everytime she tries to eat hard stuff. why is that? this has been going on for some tine now...has it got to do with the food that she is eating? went to the dentist, but he said nothing is wrong.

Teeth/gum problem help?
if her gums hurt while she has the old set of dentures in, it is probably because her gums are still healing from the extractions and/or her old dentures don't fit properly. unfortunately, there's not whole lot she can do other then rinsing with warm salt water for the next week or so and eating softer foods.


hope this helps.
Reply:If she is in pain there is something wrong. Sounds like her denture doesn't fit correctly.


This is easily corrected by relining the denture.


Your mouth changes over time and this is normal.


I would tell her to find a new dentist and get a denture reline. Either that, or call her permanant dentist and set up an appt. for a reline. Demand it!


The dentist should use " PIP" PIP stands for pressure indicator paste. This will show the dentist exactly where the denture needs to be altered.


The denture could also just be relined with a special pink material. " COE "
