How Long Can One Stay With A Loose Tooth Bridge?
My upper front 3-4 (?) teeth bridge is loose for 3 days.
I called my doctor and he said that he can only help me to remove my bridge... and it will be my choise to leave his office without teeth. The bridge is not very old, 6-7 years probably. It was done twice by the same doctor due to his mistake - he broke s/g while he was performing some work on my first, original bridge.
I have an appt to see the doctor and talk to him but my question is for how long I can stay with loose bridge without any complitacionts?
thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the question in heathcare magic.
If you have a loose bridge in the front teeth, my advice is to replace it as soon as possible as loose bridge will cause you further problems in the underline tooth or the adjacent tooth.
Secondly the problem of leaving office can also be taken care of, as the temporary bridge can be made and is available at the interval of 1-2 hrs only. Till that time you can wear the temporary bridge and carry on your office work.
I hope my post id helpful to you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The loose bridge could be because of the dislodged cementation or broken bridge or broken supporting tooth. Consult a prosthodontist as early as possible and get the bridge corrected. you can also take radiograph to rule out any tooth or bridge fracture.
If only cementation has come out then it can be recemented. if tooth or bridge is broken then it has to repeated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
