Tooth bridge problem

2019-06-10 15:18:11
I have metal bridge on three molars on my right side jaw , i can not chew my food nicely from my right side. As when I chew it my tooth bridge gets pressed & it presses my gums & it pains. So, i have to chew my food softly from right side & left side jaw is used more. So , left side jaw is used more for chewing & left side jaw pains. Please suggest what should I do.

Proper history is required n how old is your bridge.clinical examination and x-ray must be done.May be this pain is due to high occlusal points.

you should go to dentist for proper examination if there is any high points it can be reduced if there is any reinfection n any kind of problem in bridge then bridge should be changed.

Hello Sir, Welcome to Practo You can change the bridge which is the best option to get rid of pain during Chewing. Tooth colored bridges are available which will look like natural teeth and they have more strength than metal bridge. May be your metal bridge is old and that is why it is not working properly. Visit a dentist soon and get it checked properly. Wish you good health and happiness Keep me updated with the improvements Regards

The bridge on your right teeth need replacement or may need to be trimmed so as to get set in occlusion with other teeth. Visit a dentist and do the needful.

It's likely that either your bridge cemented is loose or there could be reinfection under the capped teeth...an x-ray and clinical examination would help your dentist advise you of the solution.
