Can a partial harm the teeth it relies on?+
Any appliance needs to be planned and looked after with those teeth in mind. Careful cleaning and regular reviews let the dentist monitor them, so tell us about any changes you notice.
What should I do if a tooth supporting my partial feels sore?+
Phone the clinic and describe it. The tooth and the appliance would both need assessing, since either might be connected to what you’re feeling.
Do I still need cleanings if I wear a partial?+
Yes. Partial-denture wearers need ongoing care for their remaining teeth, and your dental team can advise how often is right for your mouth.
What if I lose another tooth while wearing a partial?+
Bring the partial and call the clinic to arrange an assessment. Your options depend on which tooth is affected and how the appliance is designed.
Do I clean my partial differently from my natural teeth?+
Yes, in that it comes out of your mouth first and needs a suitable brush and cleanser. Denture materials can be scratched by the abrasives in many toothpastes.
How does someone from Jefferson get a partial reviewed?+
