Yes, a tooth can get infected under a bridge. It is important to stay up on your recall visits to your dental office. Also stay up on your full mouth set of x-rays so if it occurs it can be diagnosed early. It is also important to replace the bridge incase the infection is related to decay under the bridge. If you don't replace the crown or bridge it may continue to decay without the patient feeling it.
