[quote]I do not wear my upper denture, so when I eat, I use a tongue thrusting motion that causes the contact between the underneath of my tongue and my bottom teeth. This has created quite an open area under my tongue that just won't heal. It trys to and at times seems like it is, but then I get really hungry again, eat alot, and we're back at square one.
