See what the dentist says. You can buy floss that goes over the top of bridges. I use it about once a week.

Thanks Muse ?

I can afford the denture but no way would I be able to afford implants!!!Thanks for your input ?

I am always guided by my dentist, so if you trust yours then I would seek his/her advice and then follow it. I can guarantee that it will be costly though! Perhaps a ‘snap on’ denture might do the trick - if you can afford the exorbitant cost of the implants.

I have a partial denture at the top of my mouth and also a bridge but I have had the bridge for about 10 years now and I think it has had its day as I keep getting a horrible taste in my mouth and I think overtime food has got in behind the bridge and that is causing the taste, I have asked family and my breath doesn’t smell apparently! Anyway I am now thinking of having the bridge removed and having a full denture at the top so any advice,experience gratefully received, thank you in anticipation. I have a dental appointment in a month
