Hi Marylee,

Your face is the swollen cause of dentures. After denture to many problems&nbsp;occurs. Because it produced gum disease, cavities, and infection into jaw bone or other neighbor teeth. So you can visit our dentist and check your problem. If you don't treat at that time you will face more problem. I am also the professional dentist in Australia. You can also consult your dentist once. I hope you understand what I can say?

Thanks

&nbsp;
