You're right, not what I wanted to hear, but also what I was expecting. He did mention that if it got no better that he could go in and laser some of the gum under the Bridge tooth so I could clean it regularly. Is that the adjustment you spoke of, and you do not suggest that?
Thanks again. Quote:

Hi rdailey,
No, I was referring to cutting back on the actual porcelain on the pontic (fake tooth) where it meets the gum line. Sometimes they will use a laser to reduce the amount of gum tissue along that margin. If you are going to do that, it should be done soon so that you can clean it better. I would still get a second opinion on the fit of the bridge. It would be ideal to bring your x-rays with you and let the consulting dentist take an x-ray of that area to see how the bridge is fitting along the margins. Bryanna Quote:

Bryanna, I am scheduled to go back to the dentist on Wednesday and it is their plan to redo to bridge. They will take the permanent one off and make a new impression and then put on a temporary til the new one is ready. My question to you is do you think this should solve the problem of a spongy texture to all that I eat. I assume they will just make the bridge a little shorter so it won't touch the top of the gum (this is a bottom bridge), but I worry that possibly they might damage one of the two anchor teeth when cutting off the crowns. Thanks.

rdailey,
Is the last anchor tooth a wisdom tooth?? Meaning you had your second molar tooth #18 removed? Or did you have your wisdom tooth removed at some point and then tooth #19 removed? Bryanna |

One other thing I forgot to ask about. Since this ordeal first started I have noticed that most every day I feel sick to my stomach for a few hours. No other syptoms but I wonder if any of this could be causing this. No pain, just the nausea.
