When to see to your doctor – Denture Discomfort

While some denture discomforts can be handled at home, Jack W. Clinton, D. M. D. , says you should see your dentist if:

• You develop soreness that doesn’t improve within a week.
• You have an area on the gum that bleeds spontaneously or is filled with pus.
• There’s extra tissue growing, particularly between the upper lip and the gum.
• You have a white sore for more than one week.
• You have a sore that doesn’t heal completely within 10 to 14 days.
