I had my top 4 front teeth extracted on 16th November and am using a partial denture until my mouth is ready for implants.

Last night before I went to bed the partial denture slotted in and out normally. Today however I found it very hard to get in and it's not sitting right :(

any ideas what can have changed over night and what I need to do?
 
Contract your dentist and get them to have a look.
 
Sounds like it's time for an adjustment. Pretty common thing for partial wearers during the healing process or even well after healing.
 
Thanks for your replies - funnily enough it's fitting fine again since a few hours after it wouldn't even go in. Maybe I had swollen gums or something I don't know. I've spoken to my dentist and she's going to take a look at my next appointment in a week or so
