There are other reasons of Gum pain also.
Gum pain may be a postoperative event after the procedure. But it should be temporary and it should improve day after day. If it does not improve or if it worsens then it needs to be checked out. Hope that helps
A dental bridge can cause gum pain if the pontic or "bridge tooth/teeth" are pushing on the gums too hard.

Also, if there is excess hardened cement under the bridge that might not have rinsed out at the cementation or delivery appointment, this can cause pain as well.
