The denture needs an adjustment, you should see your dentist
Consult your dentist.
You should see a dentist if you're having tooth pain after getting a denture. I would recommend making an appointment with the dentist who made your denture for an adjustment. Dentures are like a new pair of shoes. Your gum tissue will need time to adapt to them. You may also have sore spots that the dentist can adjust for you. This is all normal for a denture.
Hello,
Sorry about your discomfort. Teeth can be sensitive after getting dentures for a variety of reasons (denture clasp rubbing on the tooth in a sensitive area, clasp too tight, bite changes). How does your tooth feel when you take your denture out of your mouth? The best thing to do is see a dentist to determine the cause of the sensitivity. Most dentists understand that when they make a denture, the patient is going to need adjustments or have concerns (especially if it is the the person's first denture).
Hope this helps.
Best of luck to you!
