what might be the cause for the bridge to fall out?

Q. Have had a permnement 5 teeth 2front eye tooth ,2 sides next to them bridge 12 yrs in..just fell out on it’s own . no hurting, just fell out. same day went to dentist, said it broke off both teeth that held the bridge on..put in plastic barb one side medal barb where front tooth was.been very painful for 2 months under the front tooth only,i have no 5 teeth mind you. just bridge.he said i probably fractured the root. never ever hurt before he really driled out the ,i assume the excess part of the tooth broken off at gum line both doctors are stumped as to why it hurts so bad.. i’ve also had root canal on it , over the yrs.never a problem in 12 yrs, till bridge was reattached..can’t front bite like hamberger bun or soft slices of peaches, without it causeing pain,sometimes very bad through the whole night.been on z-pac 5 days now another z-pac.any idea of what is happening? any answer would be very much appreciated.

A. Sounds like the root has fractured ask for an x-ray the tooth may need removal.
