My 15-year-old dental bridge was replaced as the last abutment tooth had sensitivity. It has undergone RCT and the permanent bridge was fixed last Saturday. The last tooth in the dental bridge still has pain and sensitivity. The pain was unbearable on Monday so I took naproxen 250 mg on Monday. On Tuesday, I felt almost 95% better with no symptoms. Again yesterday the pain started and progressed throughout the day and towards the end of the day there was mild sensitivity as well. I took another naproxen 250 mg last night. And this morning the pain has reduced but the mild sensitivity continues. I'm seriously panicking.
P.S: I am also afraid removing the permanent bridge again now will be impossible as the dentist used a bonding cement to seal it well. This whole ordeal has taken a great deal of toll on my mental health.

Hlo mam……pain and sensitivity in recently placed bride cases can happen because of several reasons:-
1)if occlusal high points present:-visit your dentist get it evaluated by articulating paper and get it corrected.
2)if the bridge is not placed properly and there is a gap left between the crown placed and the prepared tooth:-get it evaluated and if there is gap present get it corrected
3)RCT not done properly on the last molar tooth:-get an x ray done and get it evaluated and if this will be the case then u will have to get the bridge removed and re-rct done.
Next Steps
Consult your dentist and get it evaluated and get appropriate treatment done.
