I had 2 lower front teeth extracted 4 days ago and partial denture fitted, which also has 4 lower back teeth on each side.
The clasps are too tight and I have an ulcer under one side through my nail causing damage to the gum when trying to extract them.
I also have other denture sores, which are painful but bearable.
I'm not due to see the dentist for adjustment for another 5 days as she isn't happy to do anything in the first week. She isn't open until Tuesday and I am going to ring and try to see her then. It's a private dentist so hopefully I can get in.
My problem is if I stop wearing the denture the teeth either side will drift and it might not go back in. But if I carry on, it will get worse and could get infected. I am doing salt water rinses and putting a baking soda paste on it and using Bonjela.
I'm really at a loss whether to leave them out or not.
Any suggestions?
