What should I know about having a dental partial plate?

Answer by  jaimesgirl (1055)

If you have a partial plate, remove it at bedtime to allow your mouth to rest and soak it in denture tablets. Be sure to remove the plate and at least rinse it off or brush it after meals. If you develop a gum sore, advise your dentist right away so it doesn't become infected.

It is removable so you have to take it out at night. You have to brush the partial just like you brush your teeth.

You should know that a partial is mainly for esthetics, not comfort. They usually cost less than bridgework, but are harder to get used to. You can function well with a partial, but they can be bothersome also.
