A member asked:
I have a bridge on top with 6 teeth and normally i use the little blue floss pull to pull the normal floss thru but today it slid out between 2 teeth?

Possible Fracture: The metal frame of the bridge may have cracked. You need to have it evaluated immediately, since the forces on these teeth are not balanced any more. Leaving it alone can cause the abutment teeth to loose bone and need extraction.

broken bridge: It sounds like the attachment of one side of the bridge to the other side may have fractured see a dentist or the dentist who placed it right away.
