What is meant by “Denture Sore Mouth”?
• Denture sore mouth is recognised by redness interspersed with white patches, on the areas of the mouth covered by the denture. It is an infection caused by the “Candida Albicans” fungus. Despite its name, the condition is generally painless. • Consult your dentist if you are aware of this condition in your mouth. It is treated with anti-fungal medications. • The denture should be thoroughly cleaned and left out of the mouth for as long as possible, while you have the infection.
