Most likely your tongue needs to "callous" a bit. It should in about 2 weeks. Peroxide or saltwater rinses will help. However, in rare cases, if the denture has the pink acrylic on it some people are sensitive to this material. If it persisits or gets worse check back with the dentist or denturist.

Ok...I just got them today at 10:30 am and they felt really weird at first like my mouth was full. They felt really big. Also its weird closing your lips cause they are so dry when they take the lip separators out (So my advice would be to put on some chap stick or lip balm...) Its been about 7.5 hrs and they don't hurt yet. But they will tomorrow. Although I can feel them getting sore : (. I know that they will hurt very bad after adjusting appointments so I'm going to take Tylenol or Advil.\n\nGood luck with your treatment

Maybe Oral thrush ????  Is there a white layer on your tongues and then red bits ?? The white is a sure sign of thrush xx

If its on your tongue and it is the result of a bite, it's not herpes. So, don't worry about that...\nIts called an apthous ulcer, or canker sore. There are medications that you can take to help aid in the healing, but it should go away after about a week... You could ask your dentist to recommend something, or see if he even has some samples...

if you don't think you are healing , then go back to the dentist immediately!! You should not put your tounge any where near the  places you had the teeth pulled from, i know this is hard to do because your tounge automatically will want to go there, it soothes the pain when you do this, about the blackness, i am not sure what that is but i would call the dentist first thing monday morning and inquire about what you see and feel, good luck-get better soon

sounds like you have a fungal infection called thrush. you can use a product called gly-oxide. it's an anti-septic mouth rinse. it will sting, but you have to swish it around for at least 30-45 seconds. then you can spray chloraseptic in your mouth and swish that around...it will really help to numb the pain. you could possibly have a virus too...if that's the case, it just has to run it's course...usually 7-10 days for canker sores. if you're not getting any better after 5 days or so, or start to run a fever, go to the doctor...they might have to swab your mouth for a culture to find out what you have, and determine if you need antibiotics.

Cut down on sweet thing's and carry on taking the antibiotics and rinse Ur mouth with a mouth wash or salt water and it should sort it out.\n\nAfter UV had them out ask dentist 2 give u some strong pain killers and as soon as u feel a tingle that the anaesthetic is wearing off take the tablet's, that way they will start 2 work b4 Ur mouth is back 2 normal and Ur feel no pain.\n\nDrink warm not hot drinks and eat soft food and rinse Ur mouth out with warm salt water as much as possible.\n\nI've had 3 of mine out and had no bruising or swelling at all.\n\nGood luck :O)

It really hurt when I had mine done and I went through a lot of pain meds and it was for a good cause.Don't be afraid to ask for more and be sure to clean your mouth everytime you eat so it don't get infected.Also drink lots of water,when your mouth hurts you tend to dehydrate from lack of wanting anything in there also the meds will dry you out.

From this Mayo clinic website http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/geographic-tongue/DS00819\n\n"The tongue is normally covered with a layer of small bumps (papillae). Geographic tongue results when these projections are missing in certain areas of the tongue. The papillae loss creates smooth, red patches on the tongue, giving it a map-like, or geographic, appearance.\n\nTreatment: "Medical treatment isn't necessary for geographic tongue. The condition usually resolves on its own within months, but it can last a year or more. After which time, the tongue returns to its normal appearance. Though sometimes uncomfortable, the condition is harmless.\n\nIf you're bothered by soreness or a burning sensation, it may help to avoid the following items that can aggravate the condition:\n\n    * Hot or spicy foods\n    * Acidic foods and beverages\n    * Alcohol\n    * Tobacco\n\nIn addition, some types of toothpaste that contain tartar-control additives, heavy flavoring or whitening agents may worsen geographic tongue.

If you've "tried everything," maybe it is not really a cold sore.  Maybe you have a sharp edge of a tooth that is irritating your tongue.  Maybe it is a tumor.  Get it checked by your dentist.

EWWWWWW! It just looks like u ate a green something!  Get a tongue scraper from your drugstore! I promise all that buildup can be scraped away.   If no improvement see a Ears/Nose/Throat doctor stat!

Yes Burning Mouth Syndrom does exist.  However, it's etiology (cause) is often difficult to localize.  It can be due to a number of different causes, some possibilities are: Anemia, Vitamin Deficiency, Fungal Infection, Neuropathy, Medicine induced and many other causes.  Unfortunately, about 60% of the cases are found to have no known cause (unknown etiology).  These cases are typically found in Older Women, often those who are feeling a bit depressed (often divorced or widowed, etc).  There is a belief that in these cases it has to do with the depressive state and there is actually no dental cause.  If all other causes can be rulled out, then antidepressants can be prescribed.  I'm not trying to say that this is what is causing this feeling in your mother, but I have to let you know that it is a possibility.  My suggestion is to have your mother referred to an Oral Pathologist to try to localize the cause.  Tell her to keep her mouth as moist as possibile (sometimes it is caused by a condition known as Xerostomia (pernounced Zero-Stomia) where the mouth is excessively dry).  They have a product called Miracle Mouthwash that has several components that aid in soothing irrative mouth conditions!  Hope that this proves helpful!

Just a scrape, nothing to worry about unless you cough up any blood (indicating you have a cut or tear rather than just a scrape).\n\nThe tissue in your mouth and through is called mucous membrane.  The bad news is, it gets irritated really easily and hurts to an annoying degree.  The good news is it's just about the most rapidly healing tissue in the human body.  \n\nChew your food really well, maybe grab yourself a Jamba juice or something (you'd put ice on a bruise, right?  This is the same thing) to keep the inflammation (swelling) down.  The pain should go away in 2-4 days.

I broke my tooth a while back on a mcdonalds french fry... nice huh, anyways i didnt do anything i did get some wax for your mouth that helps it from cutting your tongue or gums, but they do have temp fillings at like walmart that will get you by until you go to the dentist but you really should talk with them alot of times if you put the busted part in your own spit or in milk (dont rinse it) they can usually put it back on....... good luck!

It could be that you have a bit of gum recession in that area, or that the tooth was carved right down to the gums.  In both situations you will have sensitivity for for a few days to a few months.  Your dentist could also have possibly nicked your root a bit but I'm not sure; that's something another dentist will have to tell you.

seems like you have got infection in the periapical area of the tooth(i.e the area which surrounds the end of the root) which has spread to the bone and has resulted in bone loss which may be replaced by the granulomatous tissue (the infected tissue). this often results in the change in perception of the tissue and inflammation of the soft tissues of the oral cavity, thus leading to odd sensation. furthermore, the area you are describing i.e the palatal area doesn't contain much of muscle as the skin is attached directly to the periosteum (outer covering of the bone). thus any pus or oedema in that area is quite painful. the best treatment or it is drainage of pus. it can be done either way i.e either from making the hole in the tooth or else surgically. the root canal therapy will just make a passage for the drainage of the pus from the tooth so that all the infected pus and other tissues is removed later it can be filled so that any further infection isn't caused. but sometimes the amount of pus or the lesion is so big that it can't be removed by RCT. then we need to open up that area and treat it surgically. the exact treatment plan can be chalked out only after examination. so i advise you to consult a gud endodontologist who will be able to relieve ur pain and return the tooth to it's functional state.
