No: Please seek the care of the dentist who fabricated the prosthesis. It may need an adjustment, something may have broken, or you may have an infection. This needs professional attention asap.

Call dentist: See your dentist for an adjustment.. It is not unusual for a patient to have sore spots that need simple adjustments, even after a few months.

Denture sore gums: If you have sore gums under a denture you should see your dentist. Bongela or oragel may help the gums feel better temporarily but you won't have a real solution until the problem with the denture is resolved.

See a specialist: See a prosthodontist for an expert's examination and opinion. They are the most highly trained experts in dentures, especially with implants. Don't wait. Good luck.
