Question:
Painful Bridgework: My dentist seated a 3 tooth bridge about 5 months ago.
I still can not chew on that side of my mouth. I keep going back and he keeps telling me the bridge is fine.
If it is fine, why do I feel like I am chewing on shards of glass? I never had this problem before the bridge. ...Visitor from OH
Answer:
Does the bridge touch before the other teeth? Was it necessary to have to adjust the bridge at placement?
Are the teeth sensitive to hot and cold? This may be a bite issue, however, without seeing an xray or
photograph it is difficult to say.
Usually, in our practice, patients only take a week or so to get used to a new bridge.
