@lioness Congrats on your new ‘pie biters’. Hehe. Joking aside, I’m sorry your gums are sore. But it is very common after first getting partials or full dentures. Tissue over bone is only so forgiving. It’s soft, while the partial and bone are hard. Pressure sores are miserable but are easily remedied. Also, the clasps can be too tight so they may need to be bent a teeny bit.
To adjust the partial the dentist will trim away some of the acrylic over the sore area. Frequently to aid in finding ‘the spot’ he’ll apply a little white creamy Indicator paste to your gum tissue or the inside of the partial.
Then place the partial back in your mouth. The cream will leave a mark on your tissue or it will be rubbed off the too thick area inside the partial so he can see where trimming is needed.
All the adjusting is done on the partial, not your gums.

Just so you’re aware, there might be more trimming needed over the first few months as your bone and tissue from the extractions continue modify. Don’t hesitate to call and have this done. It won’t go away on its own.
In the meantime, if you have that Orajel ointment that can help with the discomfort. Smile pretty!! Lori.
