Re: Missing Tooth

Why can't she have the Temporary put in now? I used a Temporary for 15 years (it was actually a "Maryland Bridge" - 1 tooth which was affixed to teeth at either side). I have a Temporary Bridge in front right now as we speak & I am playing.

The "Maryland Bridge" is quite inexpensive & uses a plastic tooth, made to match the one she lost. Using specific compounds which adhere the plastic tooth on the back side (mostly) to the "neighbor teeth" the "bridge" is completed. Done properly, it has nearly the strength of a man-made bridge - to the point that I held off on permanent bridge for 15 years!

Of course, I don't know the specifics of your daughter's situation. But perhaps the Dentist doesn't know your daughter's music situation either & could cook up something that would work for her in the interim.

Best of luck.
