When Do You Need
a Dental Bridge?
3

• A dental bridge is designed to replace teeth that
  are missing due to infections that have led to
  extractions or damages that have occurred to the
  teeth.

4

• They can be used to replace one tooth or several.
  The bridge is often cemented in place so that it
  functions and has the strength of natural teeth.

5

• A bridge can improve the appearance of the mouth
  so that there aren't any gaps between teeth.

6

• It can also help with the alignment of the rest
  of the teeth as some of them might shift if gaps
  are left in place.

7

• The bite can also be corrected with a bridge
  since there will be a full set of teeth in the
  mouth.

8

• There are a few signs that you might need a
  bridge.

Your dentist can take x-rays to look at the
structure of the jaw, remaining teeth and the
overall condition of the mouth.
9
If he sees that a bridge is necessary or
beneficial, then a mold will be taken of the
mouth in order to create the appliance.
10
If you tend to NOT visit the dentist, you might
find that there are cavities that could have been
prevented.
11

• If cavities become too large, they can lead to
  infections in the teeth.

12

• This can cause severe pain or enough damage that
  the tooth breaks off or completely comes out of
  the mouth.

13

• A bridge can help cover the tooth that comes out
  or that is extracted as a result of not properly
  caring for the teeth.

14

• When you brush the teeth, you might notice
  bleeding from the gums or that they are swollen
  and tender. This could be a sign of gingivitis.

15

• If the condition isn't treated with proper
  brushing and flossing, you might experience tooth
  loss.

16

• In some cases, the condition could affect the
  bone in the jaw, which could result in cracking
  or the loss of some of the bone.

17

• This is an ideal situation where a bridge is
  needed as the bridge will provide support for the
  other teeth in that area of the mouth.

18

• Tooth pain is one of the signs that decay has
  made its way to the nerve.

The pressure from an infection can build to the
point that there is an abscess.
19

• The infection from the abscess can quickly get to
  the bloodstream and even reach the brain.

20

• This is a dangerous situation and can be relieved
  only by antibiotics or extraction if there is
  enough damage to the tooth.

21
Once the tooth is removed, then a bridge can be
placed.

• It's important to monitor the teeth that are in
  the same area of the mouth to determine if the
  infection spread.

22

• Teeth aren't supposed to move or shift.

Pay attention to any movement while brushing as
this could be a sign of deterioration of the
roots or bone.
23
Extensive gum disease is usually not corrected
with a simple visit to the dentist or a change in
the products used at home.
24

• It usually requires the tooth to be removed,
  which can lead to a bridge to replace that tooth.
