Dental bridge sensitivity

I had my dental bridge in 2012 and without any problem for almost 15 years. Last week I started having sensitivity in the last abutment tooth. I went to the dentist after 3 days and he removed my bridge to examine and took x-rays. Told me there was no visible problem. He applied desensitising agent on my abutment tooth and leave it for 24 hours to observe. There was no issue for 24 hours so he re-cemented it back. Now after few hours of re-cementing. I have mild pain and sensitivity lasting for 3 days now. Please tell me what to do. My dentist suggested me RCT in the abutment tooth if the problem does not resolve.

Dental bridge sensitivity

Hi, I'm 30F. I had a dental bridge back in 2012 when my left side first molar was removed. I had it for about almost 15 years now. I started feeling mild sensitivity in my bridge last week. Hence I visited the dentist after 3 days. He examined by taking off the bridge, took x-ray and even observed me without placing the bridge back for a day. I had no pain or sensitivity when the bridge was off. He even applied a desensitising agent and re-cemented it back after 24 hours. I started feeling a little pain, soreness and pressure the next day. I thought I was getting adjusted to the bridge being re-cemented. But it's been 3 days now and the sensitivity and pain won't go away. I'm really at my wits end.

Pain after re rct

I just had my permanent filling done after my root canal, but I'm experiencing a lot of pain. Is this normal after a filling? The dentist told me that my temporary filling had come off between appointments, so food got stuck inside, which caused the pain. She prescribed Leford DT three times a day. I've had root canals before, but I've never experienced this much pain. Is this normal

Redness on  the tip of the tongue

Hello Doctor, I have had redness only at the tip of my tongue for the past 5 months. A dentist examined my entire mouth thoroughly, including the red area, and said everything looked normal. He prescribed Candid Mouth Paint, Vizylac tablets, and an anti-inflammatory medicine. The redness improved by about 80%, but it returned after stopping the treatment. The redness is mild at rest but becomes dark red while eating. I have mild occasional numbness not always  while trying to touch the redness by tongue. but no pain, burning while eating, ulcer, bleeding, or discomfort. The red area has not increased in size over the last 5 months. I also have GERD (Grade A), gastritis, a previous H. pylori infection (treated and later tested negative), and eczema on my right-hand fingers. Why does the redness keep recurring instead of disappearing completely? What could be the most likely diagnosis, and what tests or treatment would you recommend? I ve attached the photo kindly reply me
