Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
On Wednesday I received a partial denture for teeth 1, 2, 3 on the left and 1 on the right. There are clasps on tooth 3 left and tooth 1 right. When I tried to remove the denture from my mouth, I could not do it at all.
It was held most tightly by the clasp on tooth 1 right. On Thursday I went to the dentist, who pulled the denture out, which hurt very, very much. She loosened the denture and said that
I would now be able to remove it much more easily and would get used to it. However, I still cannot do it and I am afraid of the pain.
Today the dentist went on vacation and will return on July 4.
Please tell me whether I can keep the denture in my mouth for 14 days until the dentist returns and clean it there, or whether I absolutely have to
remove it from my mouth.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!
It is certainly better to remove the denture from the mouth at least several times a day and maintain good hygiene. An emergency dentist can also help you remove the denture if you cannot do it yourself. It is certainly better to be without the denture until your dentist returns than to leave it in your mouth for two weeks without removing it.
Have a nice day!
