rd,

I am a dental hygienist and I want to explain that it is not the denture that caused your cancer, but many people who wear dentures do not go to the dentist for semi-annual examinations like they should. Small lesions that may be mistaken as a denture sore are not caught until much later because no one is examining the tissue regularly. Don't be afraid of your new denture -- but please see your occ doctor and your dentist regularly for exams so that anything suspicious can be checked out early.

good luck,

Barb
