Blue Bumps In The Corners Of The Mouth. Has A Top Denture. Anything To Be Concerned?
my wife has gotten lately black and blue bumps in the corners of her mouth only on the lower lip. she has a top denture and a lower partical which are loose but she takes them out at night to sleep.She has no pain with these but they just look ugly. Could this be the start of something we need to seek help with.
Kindly mention age of your wife. Acrylic material from which dentures are prepared can be culprit, in case your wife is allergic to this. As you have mentioned her upper and lower dentures are loose. she will have to replace or get it corrected for proper fitting. otherwise it can lead to trouble in future.I advised you to visit a dentist for black to bluish discoloration on inferior lip.
I understand that you are wife is having dentures which are loose. The bumps on lower lip could be due to trauma. Ill fitting dentures can lead to decrease in vertical dimension of the face. The bumps which you mentioned are black and blue indicate trauma.I would advise you to take your wife to a dentist who can analyze her condition and suggest treatment.
Hi ,
Thanks for writing to us.
Blue bumps appeared on the corners of mouth may be due to-allergic reactions from ill-fitting dentures.
Either the material of denture or sharp edges of denture can also cause such bumps.
Please do visit your dentist and get the loose dentures replaced.
Make sure that you are cleaning the surfaces of dentures properly.
Also be conscious to chew using both the sides of denture equally.
Apply mucopain gel on the affected area.
Use warm saline to gargle frequently.
Take care.
According to your clinical history i suppose that your wife is facing trauma from ill fitting dentures which is causing the above mentioned symptoms.
I would suggest you to take her to the Dentist and look for any sharp edges, uneven margins, occlussion, vertical dimension, if there is any defect then get it corrected.
Take multivitamin tablets for 7-10 days.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
