Did you have any problem with your dental bridge?

What kinds of problems did you have?

I have a dental bridge covering 3 teeth area (for chewing). It seems to be sinking. Did you experience such a thing?

My dentist told me (when I had my bridge put in) that it would sink after a while especially if you eat on that side mostly, exposing a line of the metal on the sides of the gum, it’s nothing to be worried about. The problem I’m having with my bridge is bleeding when I floss under it (I hate how hard it is to take care of a bridge) and the bleeding suddenly started, because the past few weeks when I flossed under it it was fine! Wonder what happened! :\
