Patients considering dentures are often worried about what problems they may experience. They may have heard negative reviews from patients who have had dentures for many years. However, these patients should not be discouraged from considering cosmetic dentures as most problems have a viable solution. Dr. Andrea Patterson of Albuquerque TruCare Dental is aware of the common denture problems patients may experience and offer options to remedy them.

Denture-related stomatitis is most often caused by over-wearing the denture or by inadequate oral hygiene. While denture-related stomatitis is usually mild and treatable, it is just one more potential inconvenience related to dentures. Some of our denture-wearing Albuquerque patients also complain of slipping, discomfort, clicking, and a decrease in the ability to taste food.

At TruCare Dental, we regularly see this common problem. Most often occurring in our Albuquerque who wear a complete upper denture, denture stomatitis causes inflammation, redness, and pain of the oral mucous membrane beneath the denture. The condition is also sometimes called ‘denture sore mouth.’
