Hi Marshur,
Was tooth #3 root canaled before it was extracted? Why was it extracted?
The pocket on tooth #4 will not be covered by the crown/bridge. Gum recession is different than a gum pocket. Recession is when the gum is higher up on the tooth than it should be. This causes a portion of the root surface to be exposed. A gum pocket is not recession it is an abnormal amount of space between the tooth and the height of the bone. Do you have periodontal (gum) disease?

There is a pocket between my gum and tooth #4 that is causing the exposed root. So you think that bridge will cover that pocket and fix my pain? Because this temp crown sure has not fixed anything. It hurts worse.
