How do you remove a tight partial denture?

My partial dentures are very tight. How can I remove them?

This could be a fingernail breaker but start by lifting both sides up (away from the gun tissue) at the same time. If you lift one side only the opposite side may engage more aggressively. If no luck- then back to your Dr. So they can hurt their fingernails
Your partial needs to be professionally adjusted. Go back to your doctor and let him change the tightness of the clasps. If you try to adjust it, you may break the clasp and then have to have a new partial constructed.Dr.d
Please go see the dentist that made the partial, they probably need to be adjusted so you can remove them yourself.
