Can Wearing Partials In Lower Gums Be Avoided Until The Gums Heal?

Hi my name is Bill. I just had 9 teeth pulled on Wednesday the 13th. I am now wearing partials both upper and lower. The uppers are fine, but the lowers are very uncomterble and I hate wearing them. My dentist has tried to adjust them, but I am still in pain. Can I just not wear them untill mu lower gums heal?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The wearing of partial denture can be avoided till the wound get healed completely.
Since the extracted site will be open and it will be in a healing stage, there will be pain when it comes in contact with the denture. Do not wear denture till the wound heals. You can use topical aneshetic like lignocaine gel and topical analgesic like choline salicylate. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
