I had a bridge and  since had discomfort. I cannot eat on that side (only really soft things).  No real pain by itself, just tender when I try to chew.  Also, when I use the super floss, the area bleeds quite a bit every time.  I've been back to the dentist who checked the bite and wore it down a bit.  But nothing has changed. Any ideas what may be happening? It's been 6 months now?
