question: Hello doctor, I am three days postop from a full mouth extraction with immediate dentures. My upper dentures are wonderful. But my bottom jaw has swollen very badly and I cannot get my bottom denture off. It is stuck due to swelling. I am so afraid of infection. What can I do other than ice and heat to get swelling down so that I can clean my denture and suture? Bottom jaw has swollen and is preventing bottom denture from release. I am currently on Percocet, Ibuprofen, and Amoxicillan. Please help.
