I will get a dental bridge. Can a bridge cause damage to the tooth?

No
A dental bridge can slightly weaken the adjacent teeth due to reshaping needed for fitting. These supporting teeth also become more prone to decay if not properly maintained. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential for the health of the bridge and surrounding teeth.
Depends on which teeth and what's going on with them. If it's a tooth without cavities or restorations then yes it could cause damage, in turn of a quick solution to get another tooth.Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device
