Dental Professional? Second opinion? Dental Bridges? Cleaning?!
Question: Dental Professional.? Second opinion.? Dental Bridges.? Cleaning.?
I have my permanent bridge (cantilever) placed, (to replace a back molar) but there seems to be a small gap between the crown and the gum on the far front tooth. I also can't get floss threaders or super floss through the space between the last crown(tooth) and the middle tooth.
I went to the dentist and they said the space was normal, and they tried to get into the space that I couldn't with the floss threader and even they had to use some tweezer looking tool to thread the floss. Do you think I should get a second opinion.? Does it sound like there is a fit problem.?
I spent about $1500 dollars on this and I feel like they are screwing me over, any opinions would be appreciated!

Answers:
LISA.
with a cantilever this is normal. If a threader is too much haste try a Waterpik.
This will get out what any floss will miss. The Waterpik never misses the tightest of spaces of any dental restoration'Health Question & Answer
