Partial Denture Care
Because partial dentures can trap food, they need a little more care than full dentures. Brushing both the denture and your teeth after each meal is recommended. If you notice any pain, swelling or bleeding in your gums, let us know as soon as possible as a badly fitting partial denture can be bad news for your gums.
Taking care when placing or removing your partial denture means taking care of not just your denture but your teeth and your gums as well. Always place it in position with your hands – don’t ever force it or bite it into place.
