Post op care: While this does not sound unusual, it is important that you see your dentist for several reasons. He\she can make sure you are healing properly as well as make whatever adjustments are necessary so you can get your partials in and out easily enough to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. All this is your dentist's responsibility, but you must call and ask to be seen.
