Hi i have had continues pain with a dental bridge...?
That is a fairly common problem with new bridges. Even the best fitting bridge will make the teeth that it is attached to move over the first few weeks after it's been cemented. Keep taking the ibuprofen and let your dentist know. He may need to adjust your bite, but don't get too worried at this point. Chances are things will calm down after a few weeks. Best of luck.
Reply:Go back to your dentist, and tell him about it. He should be able to alleviate your pain, and fix the problem.
Reply:DAVID,


YOU DIDN'T SAY WHEN YOU GOT EITHER OF THE BRIDGES? IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR THE TEETH TO BE SENSITIVE AFTER A BRIDGE IS CEMENTED UNLESS THE BITE IS TOO HIGH. WITH THIS SITUATION THERE WOULD BE GREATEST PAIN ON BITING DOWN.


THE BITE AT THE TIME OF CEMENTATION MAY NOT BE PROPER BECAUSE THE TEETH MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANESTHETIZED FOR REMOVAL OF THE TEMPORARY BRIDGE. IN THIS CASE THE FEELING WHEN YOU BITE MAY NOT BE ACCURATE.


THE EASIEST THING TO DO IS TO VISIT THE DENTIST AND HAVE THE BITE EVALUATED. UNLESS THE BITE IS ADJUSTED THE PAIN WILL CONTINUE TO HURT.
Reply:Depends if it is a permanent or removable bridge, I'm guessing removable then it would just need to adjusted because it doesn't fit properly. Or your opposing teeth are bumping too soon/differently then your real teeth when you put your teeth together.
Reply:go to the dentist for inspection......the might be carious and the caries reached to the pulp causing this pain.....or the teeth became mobile,,,i cant tell consulte ur dentist for inspection......
