Bridges will be installed by a dentist in order to close a tooth gap and provide your teeth with extra support. A bridge can last a decade and longer with good care. What do experts recommend and why should you heed this advice?

- Sticky foods could cause a temporary bridge to become dislodged.
- If you experience a significant amount of discomfort, consult with your dentist.
- Floss any gaps underneath the bridge in order to prevent cavities.

"It should be recognised that dental bridges will never be as strong and durable as natural teeth."
