Dr. Abraham Speiser answered:I have had to make major changes in crowns (bridgework) on 2 of my patients who had dental treatment in 2 different foreign countries. In both cases, the normal gum tissues of the mouth were inflamed and were subject to bleeding when food brushed by the gums the wrong way.
