While waiting for a single tooth replacement, should I invest in a temporary bridge (flipper)?

1 Answer

Answer :

My friend had a flipper for one of his front teeth for awhile. He so much hated it and it did look fake. He had so much trouble with it moving when he ate that he would palm it for a meal if he was out. He never wore it at home or at my house and actually thinks he lost it in a napkin at a restaurant.
