Dental bridge causes bad smell?

I have dental bridge done to inside tooth almost 2 years back. Since 1 year bad smell is coming from my mouth.I can clearly sense that smell is coming from one side of the mouth ie,from the side where dental bridge is present .Could anybody give suggestion whether it is common with dental bridges ? It would be really great if any body could provide me solution .

Get a water pic at the drug store %26amp; use it regularly. That is anerobic bacteria you smell. Should help a great deal!! DR HW
Reply:Improper cleaning of dental work as well as teeth will cause nasty smells in your mouth. Get your teeth cleaned, and FLOSS after you brush. Keep your tongue cleaned as well.





If you do that and you STILL have a bad smell, you might have medical problem that can be diagnosed by the your dentist or doctor.
Reply:im a dental assistant.. and i have cleaned people's teeth with bridges that have smell.. yes.. it is common to have smell.. because when you have a bridge.. you have a hallow place --a gap.. between your teeth.. its just a cap that covers it.. and whenever you eat.. overtime.. there would be spaces on top because the cement loosens.. so food gets in... if you do floss properly *you can use a floss threader* its easier to take out the food there so it doesnt rot.. brushing your teeth twice a day and having a mouthwash will prevent the odor.. and a regular 6 month cleaning and check up with the dentist will help as well. And when you do have an appointment.. talk to the dentist about bad breath.. sometimes they have prescriptioned mouth wash.. and have them check the bridge.. maybe its time to re cement a new one..





FLOSSING is the key... right after you eat..
