what can I do, experiencing dental bridge pain?
I had a cracked tooth and the dentist replaced it with a dental bridge 5 years ago in my lower right quadrant. However, I have been experiencing pain in my jawline and sometimes when it is cold or at night. I don’t know if I need an adjustment or just have a reaction to metal. What can I do?
sometimes all you need is over the counter pain med. what ever works for you . IF it does not go away these are the symptoms that mean run not walk to the dentist you have an abscess tooth the bridge is anchored in place by your own natural teeth.
1′ swelling
2. unable to chew on that side due to pain
3. pain that can wake you up at night
4 pain that starts throbbing for no reason and does not go away \
5. extreme hot or cold sensitivity that lingers
I would recommend that at your upcoming cleaning you ask for an x-ray be taken to see if it changes in the future
