I had all of my lower teeth removed 6 days ago and was fitted with a temporary denture. I was able to wear it for the first 3 days, however for the last 3 I can't put it in as the pain is too much. I see the dentist tomorrow. Is this normal?

There is an adjustment period, but extreme pain should be reported to the dentist, as you are doing.
Sadly most people do have pain at one point or another during the adjustment period. So glad you are going to talk to your dentist! Ask him/her about ways to manage pain and promote healing....like salt water gargles or other natural healing promoters.
It's normal due to the inflammation and puffing. Make sure every single time you are uncomfortable, you bring it up with the dentist and it's not ignored. Good luck!
It takes some time to adjust on your gums. It is a normal experience. I would recommend speaking to your dentist tomorrow and if they have any recommendations to ease the pain.
Like, it is recommended to rinse with warm salt water. Of course eat soft food until you're feeling better. Or a pamphlet how to care, what to expect, what to do, etc.
