Denture sores
What are denture sores?
Over half of those aged 55+ in the UK wear dentures*. If you are one of them, you will know that denture sores are no laughing matter.
Denture sores, like brace sores, can develop because of ill-fitting appliances or because the gums are starting to recede making dentures loose. When loose dentures rub, they can cause inflammation and sore patches on the gum or tongue.
