Should the temporary bridge I have been given for extracted tooth be cemented?
Q. I am going to have a bridge fitted & had the temp bridge fitted yesterday & have had 1 of my front teeth removed should the tooth that has been removed that is being replaced by the temp bridge be cemented in place,
A. Normally the temporary bridge would be cemented with temporary cement, this will allow your dentist to remove it easily without destoying it when the time comes to take impressions for the final bridge to be manufactured. As the gum heals and shrinks from where the tooth has been removed, your dentist may want to adapt the temporary bridge by adding acrylic. I hope this is of help to you.
Dear Dr.
I have had a permanent bridge done last week. but I found out the bridge area isn’t touch the gum. the food easy into the flaw.I need flosh each time after eating .
the Dentist said that becouse the tooth died, if the bridge cemented to the gum the area will be bleed and infection easer. all the bridge do the same way. but I still feel something is not right. I wandering it is true? all the bridge do the same way?
I am so appreciate if you ansew me
Thanks
Lucy
