Hi -
my dentist has x-rayed my upper bridge and has said that one of the three teeth supporting the bridge (its a four tooth bridge) has split and is infected. He proposes to cut the split tooth across and then extract the lower part of the tooth + root while leaving the bridge in place (and the top part of the split tooth would remain in the bridge). From ignorance (!) this sounds rather radical to me - I would appreciate any advice as to whether this is really feasible and, if so, is it a good idea??
Many thanks for any advice on this.
