Q. about a month ago i had 9 teeth extracted from the top of my mouth and was fitted for a temporary denture.i followed all my dentist instructions and my mouth is still really tender.Is this normal?Also i remove my denture and clean it about four times a day but never leave it out for a extended time period.Is it really necessary to remove it at night and soak it?

A. If your gums get very sore leave them to soak for about 2 hours this also give your gums a rest.
