Case Description
Right lower gum hurts a lot while wearing dentures or eating and the pain lasts even after removing the denture for some time. Just five months old dentures even after adjusting three times don't fit (upper and lower dentures do not close together). Lower dentures come off within three to four hors, no matter how much adhesive is put. Because of dry mouth I have to put lot of adhesive, which leaves adhesive in the mouth after removing teeth. Please note that I have always had dry mouth problem, because of which I lost all my teeth before fifty. Also it seems dry mouth makes it hard to keep lower dentures in, I have to continuously eat sugar-free cough drops. wHAT CAN BE DONE to ease my lower denture problems?
Thanks in advance

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
