It is totally normal to feel a little bit of discomfort.
As far as mild pain goes, you can use warm saline (add little bit of salt in warm water) to rinse your mouth.
If pain persists, visit your nearby dentist who gave you your dental bridge.
Next Steps
For mild pain, you can also use.
Rx
Tab Zerodol SP - twice daily for 5days.
Tab Pan 40 -once daily before food.

Yes.its normal to feel a bit strange when you bite and even mild pain initially.
But if it doesn't subside in a week kindly go back to your dentist and check for any highpoints or irregular bite .
And don't have very hard food till then
Next Steps
take painkillers if pain is there .
Health Tips
avoid testing the tooth often like biting to see if it's hurting, as it will unnecessarily put a strain on the teeth

Take Xray to see if there is infection or caries reaching deep in the bridge.
Rx:-
Tab O2 twice daily for 5 days after meals
Tab Combiflam twice daily for 5 days after meals
Tab Rablet D once daily for 5 days before meals
☆If patient is alcoholic or has consumed same within 15 days DO NOT take O2 as it has life threatening reaction instead take Moxikind CV

Wait for a 2-3 days,the discomfort would subside. If the pain doesn't just report back to concerned dentist and some minor adjustment related to bridge will make the pain go away.
These are normal issues followed by a bridge placement.so don't worry.Its temporary.
Next Steps
visit dentist after 3 days if pain doesn't subside
Health Tips
brush and floss regularly and thoroughly to not entertain any food lodgement between natural tooth and bridge abutment.also to remove any remaining cementing material of bridge go away(if any), which would reduce further discomfort.

It is common to have mild discomfort once the bridge is placed in the mouth but it should subside in few hours. If you have pain this means either the bite of the bridge needs some adjustment or the underlying teeth have some problem.
Next Steps
If the pain does not subside one a day or two please visit your dentist and get it checked.
Health Tips
Brush properly to ensure there is no residual cement in the gums that maybe causing the discomfort.

The discomfort is normal because it feels new and the tongue again and again touches the bridge but if the pain persists then visit your dentist....there might be some high points on the bridge which needs to be trimmed for proper occlusion
