I Noticed Bleeding During Brushing On The Top Part Of My Mouth Where The Bridges Are Placed
In august last year I had bridges done , but they still hurt when I bite into something hard , or when in connection with hot or cold food /drinks , and now I have noticed bleeding when I brush on the bridges in the top part of my mouth where the bridges are .
it feels tender and also it feels like the bridge hasn't fully covered the tooth and when air gets in there it hurts like nerve being exposed , its hard to explain .

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
With very good oral hygiene, regular recall appointments and avoidance of smoking, your dental implant has every chance of lasting for many years.
Assuming there have been no problems with the healing process after implant placement, the most likely cause of failure is inadequate oral hygiene. If tooth cleaning is poor, bacteria will build up on the implant surface and cause inflammation of the mucous membrane surrounding the implant – mucositis.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
