Have You Ever Heard Of The Metal Wire Going Under The Gum After Dental Bridge Treatment? My Dentist Says It’s Normal.

Friday, July 18th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew, I hope you can help. After completion of a dental bridge treatment, the wire which was connected to the false tooth went inside the gum after a few days. I started feeling pain occasionally. The dentist who performed the bridge said that this is normal but prescribed antibiotics and painkillers if pain persists and also advised to use fluoride toothpaste. Does the metal wire ever go inside the gum after few days? Have you heard of this before? Please advise me on my future course of action. Thank you.

I was told that I need a metal wire to avoid relapse but I’d need it for 10-15 years! Please advise me.

Q.
Hello, I am looking into the 6 month smile braces, however, I was informed that after treatment it is very highly that I will have a metal wire put in behind my teeth to avoid relapse. I was told I would have to keep this wire for anything from 10-15 years!! I have never heard of anyone having this to avoid relapse, even after having braces as an adult. Perhaps I should therefore be looking at more traditional braces? Please advise, as this has really put me off having any form of cosmetic treatment. Many thanks,
A.

Is there any alternative to this awful splint I have had fitted?

Q.
I recently knocked my front tooth out of line and have just had a splint fitted yet It’s horrible! It’s so thick I can’t close my mouth comfortably, it looks terrible and covers the front of teeth and every 5 seconds I’m having to suck the saliva out of the splint – it’s disgusting! I have been in tears ever since. Is there an alternative to this nasty plastic splint to secure my ‘loose’ tooth in place?,
