Did : Did you have any of this irritation before you had the bridge inserted? Is the bridge cemented in your mouth or is it removable? How long do you have the bridge? If it is removable, then it needs to be adjusted so that it isn't cutting you. Shaping the edges and polishing the plastic and metal should help. There is a very, very small chance that you may be allergic to the materials. See the dentist who made the bridge for you.

You : You may be having an allergic reaction to the bridge. I would seek a consultation with an oral medicine doctor. An excellent link to understand what type of ulcers you have and why they could occure is http://www.Localhealth.Com/article/mouth-ulcers. Good luck.

I : I guess you've never had these ulcers, if it is the case, you need to talk to your dentist about it. On the other hand you are just developing this condition coincidentally and for that it could be easley resolved by creating a medium for the bacteria to perish, meaning any fungal infection lives and reproduce in a low ph (acid medium) I have treated these condition successfully by prescribing oral rinses with mylanta or any anti acid medication, just rinse by keeping it in your mouth for one minute and don't rinse after with water( repeat this rinsage 4 to 5 times a day specially at bed time) just keeping the residues in your mouth it will neutralize the acidity and consequently the fungal infection will desapear in 24 to 48 hours. Good luck!

Could be: A basic law of medicine is: when trying to figure out what is going on, look to the latest significant change, whether it be cosmetics (dermatitis) or tongue irritation (dental work). Good luck.

Possibly: Did you have any problem before the bridge? If not then something about the bridge may be a causitive factor. You could be having an allerguc reaction to the cement or to the metal part of the bridge...Best to talk to your dentist.
