While there are various tooth replacement options to choose from, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdds.com\/fixed-dental-bridges.html\">dental bridge<\/a> may be the most ideal solution for you. Not only is this restoration durable and long-lasting, but it\u2019ll also provide a lifelike result that\u2019ll match the rest of your smile. Even so, they aren\u2019t immune to damage. Read on to learn five common causes of dental bridge failure and how you can make them last!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Poor Dental Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest reasons a dental bridge can fail is poor oral hygiene. While they aren\u2019t your natural teeth, you\u2019ll need to clean them often as you would with your permanent ones. By brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing with mouthwash often, you can keep your gums and abutment teeth healthy enough to support your restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Harmful Oral Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your dental bridge is durable and effective, one wrong bite or misuse of your teeth can result in damage or harm to your smile. Bad oral habits like smoking, chewing on ice, nail-biting, and munching on hard\/sticky foods can cause your restoration to fail. Make sure to only use your teeth for eating comfortably, speaking clearly, and smiling confidently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Insufficient Jawbone Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have insufficient jawbone, then your abutment teeth may not have the security they need to support your dental bridge. Speak with your dentist if this is a concern, as you may need to choose a tooth replacement option that doesn\u2019t rely on bone health. Your dentist may even recommend preliminary treatments, like bone grafting, before moving forward with an alternative treatment, such as dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: Unhealthy Abutment Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the pearly whites that keep your dental bridge in place. If they aren\u2019t strong or healthy enough, they could end up causing complications later on. Abutment teeth that have an uneven distribution can result in an unreliable restoration, which can lead to trauma or your bridge falling off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5: Neglecting Your Dental Checkups &amp; Cleanings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By visiting your dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings, you\u2019ll be able to ensure your new teeth are kept in good shape. They\u2019ll monitor your oral health and provide treatment for any developing issues they detect. They can also remove plaque and tartar from your smile, which can decrease your chances of dental decay and gum disease\u2014both of which can lead to dental bridge failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With proper care, you should expect your bridge to last around 15 years or more! Make sure to practice good oral hygiene, avoid bad dental habits, and visit your dentist often so you can make the most of your brand-new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. David M.
