Food Under Dental Bridge. They correct and redistribute the normal bite force compromised by your missing teeth. Foods like caramel fruit snacks gum and sticky candies should not be consumed when you have dental restorations.
Some food naturally falls to the floor of the mouth when you eat and that can result in food particles finding their way under your bottom dentures. Controls shifting and moving of adjoining teeth. Failing to do so will result in gum irritation and could cause both tooth loss as well as the loss of the bridge.
This potentially more serious condition generally occurs when food debris or particles are forcefully wedged in.
Accumulation of Food Particles While dental bridges are meant to fit seamlessly against your gumline bone resorption or a poorly fitting device can create an open space between the bridge and the gumline. Ice raw vegetables and sticky candy can all dislodge your dental bridge. Dental bridges are usually small lightweight providing excellent chewing comfort. Not only does the collected food introduce bacteria of its own but it can also lead to an increase in the number of bacteria that your dental implant is exposed to.
