In general, yes to allow the tissues to rest. Please ask the dentist who made them for you in case of a special situation.
Yes, you must follow the dentist's discretion regarding the new partial denture.
Partial dentures SHOULD be removed nightly. The partial is decreasing the capillary blood flow to the gum tissue. The tissues need to relax. This will also help reduce the bone resorption in the edentulous spaces.
Good morning. Most definitely. Not doing so will lead to decay and candidiasis ( fungal infection ) which could be really dangerous. Partial dentures should be removed and cleaned after every meal and should not be worn during the night. Other options for teeth replacement include fixed bridges and implants. If you have a dentist I’m sure she will be happy to go over those options with you. If you are looking for a new dental office please know that.
