Remedy for Denture Pain?

I got plates for my upper and lower mouth, the upper one is perfectly fine but the lower one is practically unbearable, it's digging into the side of my lower gum and it hurts a lot. I've been wearing them for a month now and it's never hurt this much before. Also my orthodontist is currently on New Year break so I can't consult with him until next month. What do I do?

Gargle with salt water, that should help. If you can leave them out for the night it will be the best to ease/get rid of pain. I've been there so I know. Good luck!

Ibuprofen 400 mg always helps too.

You need to go back to the dentist - as often as needed. I had the same problem since bottoms are much harder to wear than tops. The tongue is a very tough muscle and moves your denture every time you swallow. I don't have a ridge on one side and have to paste 3 times a day but I can eat corn on the cob and apples, etc.

My dentist has had to make a lot of adjustments but, eventually, it worked. Keep trying - it's so worth it.
