Food Particles Getting Caught Between Gums and a Fixed Removable: A Potential Problem?
Last Updated: Nov 10, 2015
I want to get dental implants – I hate my lower denture. It lifts up and food gets trapped between the denture and the gum and then I try to chew and it is painful. I know there are 2 types of implants for me. Removable on implants and fixed removable. I have been told to get 5 implants in the bottom. Are there problems with food particles getting caught between a fixed removable and the gum and causing problems like I am having now? I would hate to have to think that I had to go back to the dentist and have him remove the fixed prosthesis in order to remove trapped food particles.
