Denture Causing Tooth Pain?
About a month ago I received a lower partial denture that clasps to the
left 2nd premolar, left 2nd molar, and right 1st premolar. All other
teeth have been extracted. The denture feels more or less tight &
secure but I'm noticing intermittent discomfort/pain in the remaining
teeth at the contact points mainly when chewing, inserting or removing
the denture. My dentist examined these teeth and could find no caries
or trauma. The clasps do not seem to be too tight and in fact he said
that he could tighten up on them a good bit.
I'm just curious what could be causing this pain? Is the denture
misaligned or the clasps not properly seated? If I remove the denture,
the pain disappears. Apart from being an annoyance, I want to be sure
I'm not damaging the remaining teeth in any way. Any information that
can be provided would be much appreciated.
