Once he realized that the two bridge teeth were meeting when chewing, he said he agreed that it was probably the problem. He said that all my life I have always had a bridge tooth coming down onto a tooth that was still there and alive, and that food being chewed by a bridge tooth on top and one on the bottom would, or could, give the feeling of sponginess due to their natural give when chewing. Everything else looks very good, the bridge itself, the gums, and so rather than have them do a new bridge and risk damaging one of the anchor teeth, I decided to just try to get used to it. There is no pain and no loss of taste. Very strange but the only thing different is that now those two teeth are both bridge teeth and before the bottom one was real. Thanks.

I doubt that is the problem. Spongy or squishy means saliva is getting in someplace. What did the dentist say today?
