How To Treat Mouth Ulcer After Having New Dental Extraction And Denture Fitting?
I had 5 teeth removed and a denture fitted 5 days ago, everything is healing well apart from an ulcer which is not related to an extraction site, I think the denture has rubbed at some point, I am taking vitamin and mineral supplements whilst i heal - what other measures can I take to ensure quick healing

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The ulcer could be because of the sharp edges of the denture. Stop using the denture for 3 days.
If it is traumatic ulcer, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food.
Do saline gargling. If the lesion does not heal in 5-7 days then consult a oral physician and get it examined.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Thanks for using health care Magic.
Read your query.
Sharp denture edge or trauma due to the denture may have caused the ulcer and due to repeated pressure it is not healing.
I would advice you to get the sharp edges rounded by the dentist which will cause the healing of the ulcer.
Apply dentogel on the ulcer two or three times a day .
Use a antiseptic mouthwash .
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
