Partials - Dentures - Flipper

 

  • If you have had teeth extracted today, wear your partial/denture/flipper for 24 hours continuously from the time of placement by the dentist.  Do not remove before 24 hours, this may cause bleeding at extraction sites.

 

  • After the first 24 hrs, do not ever wear your partial/denture/flipper to bed, your tissue needs rest.  Remove partial/denture/flipper before going to bed and clean with liquid soap and toothbrush.  Do not use toothpaste, this is too abrasive. 

 

  • When the partial/denture/flipper is not in your mouth, it should be in a case with a small amount of water or wet paper towel.  If the partial gets too dry the acrylic can fracture.

 

  • You can expect to get sore spots (blisters) for the first few weeks of wear.  If this occurs, wear your partial/denture/flipper and call our office.  We will need to see you and adjust the appliance while the blisters are still present.

 

  • If you have had teeth extracted, after the first 24 hrs, rinse your mouth out (without the partial in mouth) with warm salt water.  Do this 3 times a day for 4 days.

 

  • Return to our office a week after procedure for a  post operative check up.  We will need to check your bite and your tissue at this time.  Successful results are accompanied with good post operative care.

 

  • If you need to come in earlier due to sore spots just give us a call. 

 

 

Dr. Manlove has been my dentist for quite a while now and her Staff is pleasant, the hygienist are polite and good at what they do, and just as important, they keep very close to their appointment schedule. I think rarely have I ever been there more than an hour unless I just had a problem. I highly recommend this office for your dental needs.

I’m sharing on behalf of my mom. She is an elderly lady who was extremely nervous. Everyone made her feel comfortable. Dr. Manlove listen so respectfully to her concerns, made her feel comfortable, and encouraged her during the appointment.
