Mom gets very agitated and says what I am doing is wrong when I work to get her to remove the implants - it's a full plate on top and gets a ton of food stuck behind it. I am afraid she will get an infection in her mouth. She used to take them out every night, but this week the skill is gone - she clenches her teeth, making it nearly impossible for me to do it either. I managed it last night and got her super annoyed with me. Help!

Dentures, on the other hand are removable. Check with the dentist or denturist who arranged for the dentures to be set.
Hopefully no infection has set in....yet.
I typed up the basic instructions in large print for her. Mom has intermittent dementia (or at least I intermittently notice it), so I had no idea if it would work or not. It may have been a coincidence but starting fresh, the next day, she read the instructions and was able to take them out all by herself.
