You should brush your teeth 2 times a day, floss 1 time and take the partials out at night. soak your partials in a cleaning solution made for partials
Yes Brush you own teeth normally at least twice a day and brush your partial denture every night after you remove them before bed time.
You should remove your partial dentures prior to brushing your teeth. Then gently brush partial surfaces to remove any food debris.
You should always take out your partial dentures before brushing your natural teeth. You should also take out your partial dentures at night time before going to bed.
Of course you can!! Simply remove the new prostheses, brush AND floss your remaining teeth, Clean the new prostheses with Liquid Soap and a denture brush, rinse well, and then reinsert the RPD's. This "ideally" should be done after each meal - bust at least clean your mouth well at the end of the day prior to bedtime. During the day, most patients remove the prostheses, rinse their mouths and the RPD with running water and then re-insert them. At bedtime, best to clean the prosthesis well and leave them in a protected container at night.

Absolutely,
If you are in a hurry or maybe a restaurant you can. Please remember food my stick to the inside of the partial dentures. So when you get a chance - take them out and brush well. Thank you!
