I have a front upper fixed bridge. Can I chew gum? (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question. You should be able to chew gum, but I recommend sticking with sugar-free. If you have persistent bad breath, I recommend getting a consultation with a Prosthodontist, because this can be a sign of periodontal disease.  A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring and maintaining the health of your teeth.

You should be fine to chew sugar-free gum. If you're experiencing bad breath regularly, you may need to see a dentist about having your teeth cleaned. Often times bad breath is associated with gum disease or cavities. You would want to rule those out as possible culprits, especially with existing dental work.

You should be able to chew gum. To help with bad breath, use floss threaders to clean under the bridge after eating. Clean your tongue regularly as well. Hope that helps. If you are having any issues with your bridge, please seek out a dentist to follow up.
