Hi ekelks2,

It is best to go back to your dentist, explain your symptoms and show him the areas that you are talking about. Your situation needs to be seen clinically for a diagnosis.

Returned to dentist two days ago but he found nothing, said once dentures were on it would go back to normal. But I've sucked candy, etc., before all this without wearing my partial denture, and never felt this hard ridge, if that's what it is, jutting down on my lower gum. And it's all on the other side of the mouth! Can anyone explain why this is happening? Thanks.
