Denture Stomatitis - Nitradine Treatment Solution
Denture stomatitis is a form of oral thrush. It is caused by a yeast or fungus called candida (commonly known as thrush), which results in a mouth infection. Stomatitis is also a term used to refer to swollen gum tissue. The bacteria lives in your mouth all the time and only becomes problematic when the bacteria in your mouth is out of balance. Denture wearers frequently suffer from it.
All removable Dentures and orthodontic appliances are made of porous material in which micro-organisms (fungi, bacteria and viruses) can infiltrate, attach and form biofilm, a three dimensional protective matrix in which they build up eventually causing denture stomatitis (more commonly referred to as “denture thrush”).
What are the Symptoms of Stomatitis?
It may be that you have very few symptoms at all but there are some things to watch out for. When you take your dentures out, the area underneath may be very red. It could be painful when you are putting your dentures in or taking them out. You may also find you have red sores at the corners of your lips or on the roof of your mouth. White patches can appear anywhere on the inside of your mouth. You will most likely have bad breath and your dentures will feel that they are irritating the skin more than normal.
Denture stomatitis results in local discomfort such as:
- Burning sensations
- Soreness
- Generalized gum pain
- Cracked mouth corners (cheilitis)
- Bad breath (halitosis)
Treatment
Work on your oral hygiene, keep your mouth clean and rinse thoroughly every time you eat. If you smoke, it is recommended that you cut down as it can increase the growth of the infection. Also remember to keep your dentures clean, soaking them in water over night and brushing them with a soft toothbrush, so that the infection is unable to spread.
