my bridge feel loose

Q. Hi there. i got a dental bridge. My bridge is just one that is stuck on the back of the other teeth at the front. Anyway lately when i eat i feel one of the teeth is loose. And after a hour from eating it isnt loose anymore. I been to my dentist before and they have done x-rays and said nothing wrong. But this week its got worse. I feel both front teeth move and click out of place. I worry about it can you help

A. It may be that the bridge has become disconnected from one of the teeth if it is the stick on type of bridge ( maryland).  As things are worrying you I would advise you to contact your dentist for them to have another look.
