Asked By:streth in Flagstaff, AZ

Can feel my 3 tooth bridge lifting in the back. It is only 2yrs old. My dentist said the front of the bridge is tight. Told me to chew gum to loosen it so it Comes off in one piece? Is this normally told to do? Also this is a root canal tooth with a post so he does not want to chance a fracture said by chewing gum it will lift in one piece. Problem is it really zinged when he put dental floss in it and now dull throbbing is present. Told to use my water pic too. Any advise, thank you!
