Q. I have just been told that I have decay in the crowned tooth which anchors my bridge The other anchor is a crown also. The bridge was to fill a gap of one missing tooth. The bridge was only fitted 18 months ago. My dentist has advised that I leave the bridge and wait for it to loosen or until it gives me pain. She said my option would be a denture or implant eventually. I’m really concerned about just letting the tooth rot away. Can you advise if this is the right procedure
