My bridge unit has a very slight wobble or rocking movement is this ok?
Q. I have a 4 unit bridge on the upper right of my mouth- this was fitted at the end of 2006 and I clean it well and floss underneath. I have been aware for quite some time of a very slight “wobble” or “rocking” movement when I apply pressure to one side or the other. Is this Ok? there is no pain and it it seems very securely fixed on to my teeth- is it just that there is a two tooth space between the actual teeth holding the bridge? I could not affor a new one and my dentist doesn’t seem overly concerned about it. Please advise
A. A loose bridge can cause you a lot of problems as the loose part will allow decay and infcetion to build up. The bridge will then become more loose and the tooth underneath will have decayed away. This needs sorting out ASAP to save you problems in the future
