Yes, it is possible to repair a partial upper denture that is missing two teeth, including one that has been swallowed.
Here's what you can do:
1. Retrieve the swallowed tooth: If possible, try to retrieve the swallowed tooth. This can be done by inducing vomiting or using a water-pik to flush the tooth out. However, it's important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any discomfort or difficulty breathing.
2. Contact your dentist: Once you have retrieved the swallowed tooth or sought medical attention, contact your dentist and explain the situation. They will assess the condition of the remaining denture and the missing teeth and determine the best course of repair.
3. Find a dental laboratory near you: Your dentist may recommend a dental laboratory that specializes in denture repairs. You can also search online for dental laboratories in your area (34293). Look for reputable laboratories with experienced technicians.
4. Send the denture for repair: Once you have found a suitable dental laboratory, send the partial upper denture and the retrieved tooth (if applicable) to them for repair. Be sure to include any instructions or specific requests provided by your dentist.
5. Receive the repaired denture: The dental laboratory will repair the denture and return it to your dentist. Your dentist will then check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before returning the repaired denture to you.
Here are some additional tips:
- Keep the partial denture clean and free from debris to prevent damage and maintain oral hygiene.
- Avoid eating hard or sticky foods that can damage the denture.
- See your dentist regularly for check-ups and maintenance of your partial denture.
