[|Human|] I had 10 teeth pulled from the top last week for dentures but I havent been able to wear them without them just killing me-there are developed 2 little sharp hard points up on the gun not where he pulled the teeth. I have tried different mouth washes, salt water slushes, oral liquid and tube. Do you have any suggestions on what these areas might be and how I could get rid of them?
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . As per your complaint sharp points on the jaw where teeth are not present that are very painful during placing denture are due to formation of bony spicules and are formed due to left over sharp areas over the bone after removal or loss of teeth, and they appear as sharp elevations over the top of the jawbone and when the denture is placed the gums gets impinged or rubbed between 2 hard surfaces that is the bony spicule and the denture plate. It cannot be treated with mouthwash or any medication, and it has to be removed by trimming the bony spicules by a small surgical procedure known as Alveoloplasty. Once the bone gets smooth then wearing the denture will not be painful. As of now you should apply numbing gel containing Lidocaine over the painful areas to relieve pain. Hope this helps. Regards.
