Hi i need to know if a patient can have a fixed bridge replacing a lateral incisor and canine in maxilla on one side with central incisor and first maxillary premolar as abutments?Someone told me fixed bridges should never cross canines in anterior teeth replacement as they are the cornerstones of mouth.Is that correct?

Perhaps your gums are bleeding because you have NOT flossed them in 20 years. If the gums are in proper health, and the bridge fits properly, then flossing should maintain their health, which means NO BLEEDING!
