My front teeth are loose should I go for bridge or implants?

Q. I have had a leaking abcess above my front left crowned tooth … some dentists say it is not a problem as the toxins can get out, but I have noticed that both Front teeth are now loose , is the infection eating into my bone ? I am considering a bridge as I cant afford implantology is that likely to be a problem .

A. Hi many thanks for your email, if you have an abcess then the chances are the infection will be eating the bone. my advice is to get it sorted as soon as possible. a bridge is a good option to replace a missing tooth as long as the teeth holding the bridge are strong and healthy.
