If your partial denture causes discomfort you should seek professional help to rectify the issue
A partial can definitely cause discomfort. If its brand new, just have you dentist adjust it. If its older, it can also cause discomfort because you bone and tissue can change over time, which can cause it to not fit as well. If thats the case, the dentist can try to adjust it but it really may need a reline or to be redone. Thanks, Dr. Matt
