Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Salivary Glands When Lower Dentures Are Put In

For a Dentist:

I just had lower dentures put in...evrythime i go to wear them my sailavary glands swell...and stop producing, i can take the dentures out eat apiece of sour candy then the salavia squirs from under my tongue like a water hose and they go down. I had the dentist grind some of the part that goes under the tongue, but it didn't help...is there something i can do rather than having the glands removed or not wearing denures, very uncomfortable, and makes going ou almost impossible.

Thanks,

Patricia
