Due to my grinding habit i feel my bridges is coming loose any advice or suggestions

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Q.
Last year I had a bridge fitted. The dentist used only the tooth to the right of the gap to fit the bridge to. However, whilst it looks good i find it most uncomfortable. I have been told that I am a heavy grinder although I didnt realise I did grind my teeth until this bridge was fitted and I find I am constantly grindnig on this bridge. Whereas before I was told that I only ground my teeth at night. I feel the bridge is coming loose as I can feel it moving slightly at times and when I floss underneath it I sometimes feel like I have slightly put it out of place but it usually goes back to normally within a few minutes. I would like it replaced or maybe refitted to both teeth either side instead of just the one on the right of it. The gap is, on my right side, the 3rd from my front tooth and the bridge is fitted to the 4th tooth to my right. Any advice or suggestions would be great, but I couldnt afford an implant, so thats out of the question for me. Many thanks for your help

I have a bubble of pus on my gums how much does a valplast dentures cost?

Monday, July 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi I had an accident at work 3 years ago which knocked two of my top teeth out. My dentist left the roots in for over a year an a half. He has now taken one root out and I have a small plate. There is one root still in there and everyday I have a bubble of pus on my gum where the root is. I am in agony, I saw a specialist in Guys hosp and he says that most of my teeth are mobile. I also have a slight protusion in my front teeth. All in all I hate the way I look and would either like a valpast partial denture as I have no back teeth to chew with. How much does a valplast denture cost? Or what would you suggest,I dont want a brace for my front teeth so could I have a bridge from one front tooth back, and the same on the other front tooth back? I need some expert advice because my dentist is always in such a rush he never listens to what I would like. I live in Rayleigh Essex. thanks
