Lots of things has to be taken into consideration, but more obvious is root canal can be done without removing the bridge. If Supporting (abutment) teeth have poor prognosis then better those should be extracted. If possible upload an OPG for better and more appropriate treatment planning.

You didn't mentioned the bridge is how many years old.depending on that decide the treatment. If bridge is very new, go for RCT, directly but in future you have to replace the bridge with new one.if comes out, r damaged.if the bridge old enough, go for rct and new bridge.so the changes in surrounding tooth structure can be restored, no microleakages.
