A member asked:
Can cheek biting be caused by a fixed bridge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check occlusion: If you have a recent restoration replacing a long missing tooth, it may take awhile for your soft tissues to accommodate to the new restoration., please see your dentist to check occlusion. In the meantime, take Ibuprofen and rinse with salt water to reduce swelling.
