It's not uncommon to experience some discomfort or adjustment period after getting a dental bridge. Here are a few things to consider:
Adjustment Period: It's normal for your mouth to take some time to adjust to the new dental bridge. Discomfort, mild pain, and changes in your bite sensation are common in the initial days.
Bite Adjustment: If you feel that your bite is not aligned properly after getting the bridge, it's important to address this with your dentist. An uneven bite can lead to discomfort and even further issues down the line.
Bridge Size: If you feel that the dental bridge is larger than what you are comfortable with or if it's causing any irritation, you should definitely bring this up with your dentist. They can assess whether any adjustments are needed.
Gum Sensitivity: Sometimes the gums around the bridge area can be sensitive initially. Make sure to keep the area clean and follow any specific post-treatment care instructions given by your dentist.
Follow-up: If your discomfort persists or worsens after a few days, it's a good idea to contact your dentist for a follow-up appointment. They can examine the bridge, your bite, and address any concerns you have.
Remember that the discomfort you're experiencing is often temporary and can be part of the adjustment process. However, if the pain is severe, getting worse, or if you notice any signs of infection (such as swelling or fever), it's important to contact your dentist promptly.
Communication with your dentist is key during this period. They will be able to guide you on whether the discomfort you're experiencing is within the normal range or if any further action is needed.

Go to your treating dentist & ask him to adjust any high contact point if any. Usually at the time of fitting it is checked before cementation. After adjustment it should settle in a couple of days by itself. All the very best

This is normal feeling. Normally it goes in 7-10 days.
But if it remains after 10 days, than do visit a local dentist for physical evaluation and treatment (as required).
