Question:
How would you prevent gum recession at tooth that supports a partial clasp?
I have a new partial that fits around a new crown and the pressure is pushing the gum away from my crown and is irritated. What can I do? ... Visitor from IN
Answer:
I would advise you to return to the dentist who made the partial, show him/her the problem and have it repaired or remade.
The clasp will probably hurt the gum tissue and the new crown if you continue to wear it. Since it is new, now is the time to deal with it.
