 The biggest danger that people face with their oral health is ignoring the signs of a problem. In most cases, people notice something is not right, but they hope that the symptoms will go away without doing anything about it. Unfortunately, when you ignore the symptoms of a problem with your oral health, it usually only gets worse. It may take time, but the symptoms will come back again. If you have a dental bridge, you may not think that it is a problem if it is a little loose. It is not a good idea. Instead, you need to do something about it before there is a bigger problem. What Happens with a Loose BridgeA bridge is a partial denture. It can replace teeth that were lost or damaged. The bridge uses surrounding teeth for support. The bridge does several things. It helps keep the other teeth from moving. It also allows a person to chew normally. It is important for the bridge to remain secure when it is in place.If the bridge is loose, several things can happen. The bridge can damage the surrounding teeth and the gums. The bridge itself can suffer damage. If there are gaps, bacteria can grow and can lead to gum disease. Like most dental problems, a loose bridge will not fix itself. It will only get worse and lead to more problems. Symptoms of a Loose BridgeIf the best way to deal with a loose bridge is to get treatment, how do you know when a bridge is loose.
