I have a lower bridge that I haven't been able to wear for a while now
because it needs adjustment and I haven't gotten around to it. My bridge at
the metal keeps getting this black stuff that can be brushed away but
returns. I keep it in the cup and the water is changed and every night when
I clean my upper teeth it is in there too (though I do brush the bridge
before putting my upper dentures in.) Just want to know what is causing
this if anyone knows. Thanks in advance. I plan on getting the bridge
replaced with a new one as soon as I get recovered from my up coming surgery
and finish saving the money for all the work but still I don't understand
since this just started. UM MOM Susan

Possible tartar (?)

I have a cup to put my teeth in for cleaning and for the night because I
don't wear them then. It is not tarter, this is black and I haven't worn
the bridge for quite some time. It gets cleaned when I put my upper in so I
don't understand what is going on with them. The water in it get emptied
twice a day too. UM MOM Susan
