Why Do I Have Sores On Tongue And Gums?

I have a mouth sore under my bottom partial ( under my tongue) but not on my tongue. It's more on the bottom part of my gums where my partial fits right on it. Very painful....can't hardly stand to put my partial in & I need it to eat. Had this happen once before & it took a long time for it to heal. Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing & do I need to see a dr.?? I'm a 54 year old female weighing about 155 & I'm 5' 3".

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The ulcer can be due to the denture injury , which is causing the pain .

I would advice you to apply mucopain / mucogel on the lesion.

Avoid wearing the denture for a day or two till the symptoms are relieved.If still persisting consult the dentist to check if the surface or edge of the denture is rough and get it smoothened to avoid more injury.

If the pain is severe , take a Panadol.

Do betadine mouth wash gargling.

Thanks and warm regards.
