Suggest Remedy To Get Accustomed To Dentures

Hi I am a 53 you old woman. and I just got a 2 tooth partial for my left upper 15 16 teeth. When I sleep without it I have a very hard time adjusting in the am. Can I take it out at my evening brushing clean it and put it back in and then sleep with it. I can not swallow it because it is VERY hard to take out…

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The wearing of denture during night time is prohibited because, there will be reduced salivary secretion during sleep and more bacterial and fungal growth will occur and results in infection so you need to remove it while sleeping. The denture can be adjusted so that you can remove it and fix it easily by modifying the boundaries. So consult a prosthodontist and get it corrected.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
