    Treatment for Gum Calluses
    I had a large cyst removed from the top of my mouth. My gums became deformed. My new dentures fit poorly and caused gum calluses. Picture your gums encased in sandpaper when you put in your dentures! My dentist has no answers after 11 months of utter pain. Is there :(a solution for me?

    Have you tried rinsing with water and tea tree oil? I'm not sure how many drops you would need to use in a couple of ounces of water but I'm sure someone at the health food store could tell you.

    Id go for a reline... the dentist can put in a "tissue-conditioner" like "ViscoGel"... its soft and gooey and will let your tissue heal without you having to keep your dentures out.. by the way never sleep with your denture and keep it clean.

    Amir, I'm sure while he's seen his dentist these past "11 months" a soft reline must have been suggested and/or done.
