Painful localized ulcers or raw spots occur when high-pressure points on a rough or misaligned acrylic base dig directly into delicate oral mucosa during chewing.
Widespread redness and swelling under a denture indicates Denture Stomatitis or chronic micro-trauma from wearing dentures overnight without adequate tissue resting periods.
A bruised or bleeding sensation when taking dentures out indicates extreme localized bite pressure or heavy clasp tightness digging into soft tissues and underlying bone.
