Hi-
I had an extraction last year and I am now considering a bridge. One of the anchor teeth on either side of the gap has a large cavity in it. I was wondering if I can get it filled and then have the bridge done later this year after I've saved up for it.
I don't want the cavity to get worse but it seems like the dentist I saw is pushing me to everything done at once.
He never addressed whether its OK to use a tooth with a filling in it as an anchor tooth.
