Tips to Help During Adjustment

Try a few of these tips. They may help your mouth adjust faster and more easily.

At first, eat soft foods and foods that have been cut into small pieces. Once you're used to eating with the partial, you can eat almost anything you like. However, avoid very sticky or hard foods.
Practice reading out loud until you can talk comfortably with the partial in place.
Practice putting the partial in and taking it out in front of a mirror. Never force it or bite down to try to get it into place.

Wearing Your Partial

Your dentist will recommend how long to wear the partial and when to remove it. At first, you might wear it all the time. Later on, you may be told to remove your partial at night to give your gums a rest.
