“What can't you eat with a dental bridge?”
I am a 28 year old male and I have a dental bridge. What can't you eat with a dental bridge?

Yes
You can eat anything.
Sticky foods may pull it off, but you should be good to go with everything else. And rocks . . . . don’t eat rocks . . .
Hello,
This usually depends on how long the bridge is and where it is in your mouth, but for the most part after the final bridge is in and everything is adjusted for your particular chewing habits, you should be able to eat all the stuff you were eating before (provided you weren't chewing on rocks!). If your doctor is going to give you a temporary bridge, then you should might want to be careful with sticky foods and hard foods. Sticky foods like candies and bread can pull a temporary bridge off and hard foods can cause a temporary bridge to break.
Hope this helps.
My best to you!
