Some people seem to get decay no matter how carefully they brush. If that sounds familiar, it makes sense to ask how a bridge would fit with your cavity history before committing.
Let's find a time
The artificial tooth in a bridge cannot decay, yet any natural tooth holding it up still can. The vulnerable place is the margin, where the crown meets the tooth, and plaque left there over time can cause trouble that is hard to see.
A history of fillings does not rule out a bridge, though it does make cleaning and regular examinations especially important. Kildonan Park is in Winnipeg, and patients from the area can talk this over at our McPhillips Street clinic.

Telling your dentist how often you have needed fillings helps give the plan useful context.
Edges where a bridge meets the tooth are reviewed before attachment and at later examinations.
A workable daily route for plaque removal is part of what a bridge has to offer you.
Decay risk touches both the choice of design and the habits you will keep up long after the bridge is attached.
Before suggesting that a tooth carry a bridge, your dentist weighs up its condition and the state of any older repairs.
A plan for someone who gets cavities easily ought to be realistic about the upkeep it will demand of them.
Existing decay usually has to be dealt with as part of the overall plan. The order of treatment is something your dentist can explain after an examination.
Everyone’s order of care differs, but here is the general route, with decay risk kept in view from the first examination to the last check.
Request your visitYour teeth, gums and existing restorations are examined, and X-rays may be taken when appropriate. Findings and priorities are then explained.
Any necessary treatment is discussed first. Anchor teeth are then prepared when required, or implants that have healed are assessed for connection.
Your bite, shade and scans or impressions direct the fabrication. A temporary may cover prepared teeth, so ask how you should clean around it.
Margins and cleaning access are reviewed with bite, contacts and appearance, and your bridge is secured once those checks are complete.
Nobody is going to judge you for having a lot of fillings. A truthful account of your experience and routines gives your dentist more to work with.
Costs depend on what is found and treated, so an estimate makes the most sense after your examination. Have your plan details available if you have coverage.

Repeated cavities can leave you dreading what comes next. Let us know if that is how you feel, because your dentist can explain findings at a pace that works for you.
If you have several concerns, ask your dentist to help you see what comes first and what can follow.
Teeth with past decay can be tender. Tell your dentist before examination or treatment gets going.
Please ask us to explain what an X-ray or a term means until it actually makes sense to you.
Staying ahead of decay
Plaque removal is how you protect your anchor teeth at home, and your examinations back that up. Both matter, particularly with a cavity history like yours.
Floss cannot drop between connected units. Have us show you how super floss, a threader or a water flosser can get in beneath.
Your dentist can advise how frequently to come in, since margins can develop problems that you would not feel.
Trapped food, a persistent bad taste or swelling near your bridge should prompt a phone call to the clinic.
Ask about preventive options at your examination. Your dental team can talk through what may be appropriate for you.

Helpful details about dental bridges in Kildonan Park.
Ask our teamThe artificial part does not decay the way enamel does. Natural teeth holding the bridge can, especially at the margins, so these areas need daily care and regular checks.
Not by themselves. Your dentist assesses the teeth as they are today, including structure, root health and gums, before saying which options seem reasonable.
Not always, as a covered margin can be difficult to see yourself. This is one reason examinations continue to matter once your bridge is in place.
Decay in or around the planned area would normally be addressed as part of the overall plan. Ask your dentist how the order of care applies to your own teeth.
Implants themselves do not decay, though they still need good cleaning and your other teeth remain at risk. Suitability depends on bone, health and healing.
Phone the clinic about bleeding, swelling, a lingering taste or food that keeps packing in. Describing it early allows the clinic to advise you on what to do next.
