As I see it, the trouble about having a bridge in one's mouth is that a supporting tooth can decay without one knowing anything about it until excruciating pain starts all of a sudden This happened to me when I was in France last week. I was eating yogourt and found a small piece of tooth in it. I really did not know whether it was a part of my tooth or whether the piece came already packaged with the yogourt But within a day I was laid low by such devastating pain that I could do nothing but lie in bed and moan. I'll skip further boring details but when I returned home my wonderful dentist removed an old bridge and found dreadful decay and infection underneath...and so I have had to undergo more root canal treatment and I'll have to buy a new bridge On the plus side it's great that all my dodgy teeth are being fixed up in one go (except that rules out holidays for a long time).

I wish I could say "I understand perfectly" but since I went 28 years between dental visits, it's a medical domain that I know little about. However, I did have 2 root canals followed by 2 crowns at that time. Since then, nothing -- no cavities, no pain, no problems (I hope).

I have just finished major dental work of two crowns and two veneers on my four top teeth to get rid of a gap caused by my periodontal problems.
I am over the moon! I'm still getting used to the look of it but they are lovely and straight and white - I also had my teeth bleached - in for a penny, in for a pound as they say.
