Pain on my bridge
by chris2664, Dec 21, 2007 11:05AM
Hi,
I have a bridge almost 10 years old (4 pieces), never have problem with and so far always in good conditions, as my dentist (many because have changed city often) said after cleanings, also I do floss and always brush twice per day.
But the last couples day starting a soft pain in one of the area, no too hard but I need to take Tylenol to help the pain go away for 6 hrs but then came again. Today is Friday and my dentist doesn't work until Monday.
Any ideas what can be? infection? or perhaps I need a new bridge? now is that is the case, can I have this bridge remove, clean and put it back? I mean my mouth is almost around 15,000 by now, I just spent 5,000 two moth ago, in another 5 piece bridge.
Thanks!
