Back in October I had a crown come off and due to decay decided to have the tooth pulled and a Bridge installed. I had the permanent Bridge installed in late December 2012 and while the fit seems good, I am having a real problem when eating anything at all. Food seems to have a spongy texture that is so frustrating that it takes away the desire to eat. It does not affect the taste of the food, just the consistency. The Dentist is perplexed and says the only thing it could be is that the gums where the extracted tooth was must need to re-form. Floss cannot be threaded between the gum and bottom of Bridge tooth, even the Dentist could thread it, so I believe it is the sensation of the gum that is making the spongy feeling. Can this happen when the gum is right up against the bottom of the Bridge tooth. Interdental brushes can't get through either. This is driving me nuts so any help would be appreciated.
