Read on to learn why this can happen and how you should handle this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do Dental Bridges Fail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a variety of reasons why dental bridges can fall out. Here are some of the most common ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tooth Decay: <\/strong>One of the most common reasons for dental bridge failure is tooth decay that affects the supporting teeth. Bridges and crowns cover the visible surface of the supporting tooth, but it is still possible for them to become decayed. If you aren\u2019t keeping up an excellent oral hygiene routine, cavities can still develop.When left to progress, they can become deeper and cause your bridge to fail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bite Issues: <\/strong>An irregular bite pattern can also cause a dental bridge to become dislodged. This is because improper bite can result in pressure points on the dental bridge. Oftentimes, this is the result of the bridge having an area that is too high on the chewing surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weak Abutment Teeth: <\/strong>The supporting teeth, also called the \u201cabutment teeth,\u201d must be strong and healthy to properly support and dental bridge. If you don\u2019t have the strength to hold the bridge long-term, it can collapse and fall out. Your abutment teeth may also be too short to provide proper support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Do About a Dislodged Dental Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your dental bridge falls out, don\u2019t stress. Give your dentist a call to schedule an urgent appointment to resolve the issue. When you come to your appointment, bring your bridge with you. Your dentist will determine the reasons why your bridge came out. This way, repairs and replacements can be made to keep this from occurring again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your bridge has fallen out, give your dentist a call at your earliest convenience. You will be showing off a complete smile with confidence in just a matter of time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Marvel Dental &amp; Orthodontics, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marveldentalcare.com\/meet-dr-oza.html\">Dr. Jay Oza<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marveldentalcare.com\/meet-dr-escobedo.html\">Dr. Hizamar Escobedo<\/a> work together to treat patients in the Burleson community.
