I just had my bottom dentures relined about 6 hours ago and my gums are so sore I can't put them in my mouth. What can I do ?

I just sent in a hint about this very thing. I've had my top denture for years and never had much problem. My bottom teeth started losing bone due to osteoporosis, I could wiggle my teeth. The bottoms were the worse, you use your jaw for everything. My dentist is a doll, told me if they hurt to put them in their cup (no water) and set in freezer for a while. Keep repeating until you get past that painful part. The cold felt so good, and helped with swelling. Hope this helps!
Call your dentist and stay on him/her until you A-get an answer to why this is happening, and B-get an immediate solution.
It's his/her job - you aren't being a bother! If you are a low-scale payer you are still entitled to the very best quality dentistry your dentist is capable of, and you are also entitled to shift to a new dentist who treats you with respect.
No-one should have to suffer with their dentures!
