Wow. Thanks for this question and answer. I wear dentures and recently been having like a horrible toothache feeling in three parts of my mouth and almost thought I was losing my mind with this phantom pain. Now I know where it's coming from. What a relief.

Yes I also wear an upper denture, well fitted because I have a very good dentist. Still lots of difficulties in my mouth. Sore, sensitive, food intolerances don’t help. Constantly cleaning and I use a tongue tooth brush as well as a tongue scraper. I also use a puffer for copd. (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). This can cause thrush. Thrush can also occur with food intolerances. It’s a constant Nightmare. But like other side affects you get on with it.

Yes, multiple myeloma (MM) can cause sores or swelling inside the mouth. Oral problems such as gingival masses (tumors on the gums) and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) can occur. ONJ may lead to sores in the soft tissues of the mouth, leaving bone exposed, and symptoms like gum swelling, loose teeth, or mouth infections Show Full Answer

Yes, multiple myeloma (MM) can cause sores or swelling inside the mouth. Oral problems such as gingival masses (tumors on the gums) and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) can occur. ONJ may lead to sores in the soft tissues of the mouth, leaving bone exposed, and symptoms like gum swelling, loose teeth, or mouth infections. Treatments for MM can also contribute to these issues.
