I had a total dental clearance in 10/16. Due to circumstances out of my control I do not have dentures yet. I think they will be ready in mid March. My gums are driving me mad. They feel swollen and are very floppy. My tongue is very busy around my mouth finding every thing loose and moving the gums around. I tried ice with relief for a little time. I have a funny taste in my mouth which I try to rid it by drinks and mouth wash. My orthodontist is currently unavailable until March .
