I have a bridge which is prone to infections plz advice ?

Q. I have a bridge on the upper left side of my face and it always gets infected. I am so tired of going to the dentist because he says I have an infection and I get put on antibiotics it goes away and comes back. It makes me physically sick. I am tired and depressed. There isn’t pain but more like discomfort. I feel as though someone has hit me in the face.It goes up my nose and gives me a headache I take very good care of my teeth but they are very soft and prone to problems. I hate this bridge. Any suggestions

A. If antibiotics are helping this means you have some typwe of infection.  Yo may have an abscess above the bridge related to the supporting teeth.  if this is the case a root filling or apicectomy may be necessary to remove the infection.
