I swallowed my bridge and have washed it with bleach and vinegar, can I wear it again?
Q.
A few days ago I woke in the middle of the night choking on my dental bridge which had came off. I could not retrieve it, so waited for it to pass through. I was very nervous about this as I had read on internet that it could become lodged at different points in the digestive system. Finally after 5 days it passed through. I washed it, soaked it in soapy water over night, then brushed it with a light solution of bleach, then with vinegar, then soaked it in a solution of bleach for about 30 minutes, then rebrushed it with vinegar. My question is: does this santize it enough to be free from ecoli? Is it now safe to reuse? I cannot afford another bridge and it is not pleasant walking around with no front teeth on right side, also the pain from the bare roots apparently is heart wrenching. Please advise.

Hello
Take it to a dentist who can fully disinfect it for you and more importantly , rebond it back in place . If there’s a problem with the bridge or the teeth holding it in place then it may have to be replaced
