With removable partial denture I am not able to speak or eat
Q. I had a removable partial denture fitted 3 days ago. I can’t speak or eat with it and I’m sure the problem is because of the acrylic palate. Is it possible to have the palate removed? I have four teeth on the denture which are held in with two clasps and it is so hard to remove it. I haven’t put it in today, because its too difficult to get out again. Please advise. Many thanks
A. It sounds like it needs adjustment although the difficulty speaking is normal when a denture is first fitted. You might have to go back to your dentist next week for adjustments or consider an alternative such as a bridge or implants.
