Are partial denture supposed to hurt when in put them in??
Question: i had my partial denture for a least a week now, and i cant get used to them. I'm getting these sores and painfull redness in my gums from the dentures when i insirt them in some times. Does any one know how long it takes to get used to them???
Answers: first one is right, call the dentist, it is included in your partial price. or at least should be. Mine was, i had to go in everyday for about a month getting little taken here little taken off here. No biggie yes it is painful but it does go away eventually. I have had mine a year and i stll get a sore spot everynow and then, but then it is time to reline them too. Once you get them comfortable in about 6 months when all your swelling goes down you will have to get yours relined also! Just where they pour a fill in the denture and you bite down into it, and it makes it more form fitted! works great i didnt have to start using adhesive until right before reline time. Only using again because its time to do again. Good luck!
If you are getting sores and redness that means you have to go back to your dentist right away. He may need to file them down a bit or just have you wear them short periods of time but he needs to see you so he can evaluate what is going on. Call the dentist right away when you read this and get this taken care of. In the meantime leave the partial out except at meals until the dentist can see you.
my mother fought with hers for months before they where right, she used a nailfile to modifie them to fit, i don;t think you need to go to the doc, just trim them where they need to be trimmed, in time ou mouth willget used to them. it;s all trial and error, jsut dont; take off to much, better to file them down slow then to screw them up and have to buy new ones.
You do not say if these dentures were inserted right after extractions or if you have healed some before placement. You should be going back to the dentist for adjustments and modifications- you spent too much money on these things to chance ruining them by adjusting them yourself.
It takes time to get them just right and you should be comfortable- set up an appointment.
