“Is it normal to have pain after a bridge?”
I got a dental bridge 5 days ago. I have mild pain still. Is it normal to have pain after a bridge?

It depends on what sort of mild pain you're still having. Does it hurt when you bite down? The bite might be off and need to be adjusted. Call your dentist. Is it sensitive to hot or cold? This might be within normal limits. Check with your dentist. Does it hurt when you tap on it or rub a finger along the gumline? This might indicate that there may be a problem brewing. Ask your dentist. Or, for this, you can try "Advil" or "Tylenol" every 4-6 hours for a couple of days and see if that helps. If so, great. If not, call your dentist.
Sometimes it is Normal to have specially sensitivity. You should have it checked by the dentist who did the bridge. Thanks.
It is fairly normal to have some discomfort. Your mouth/body/muscles/joints are all re-calibrating to having new teeth placed. Sometimes it is necessary to have adjustments made after final cementation. I would definitely contact your provider to have your bite checked to ensure that there are no interferences.
It may or may not be normal as there can be some adjustment pain. Check back with your doc.
Hi!
Yes, it's normal to still have mild pain after getting a crown or bridge. It may take several days for it to settle down. Swish with warm salt water, and this should help it a bit. Give it about a week and a half, if it's still hurting or have sensitivity to biting pressure call and let them know that you need a crown/bridge adjustment.

It should be rare to have pain. See your dentist. The bite may need adjustment.
