When a temporary bridge falls out wny do the abutment teeth hurt so much?

The abutment teeth have been prepped (cut down and shaped) to receive the permanent bridge. They are sensitive because they are not supposed to be exposed to the environment as they are. Return to your dentist as soon as possible and have the temporary bridge re-cemented.
This is important: The temporary bridge not only protects those preps, it also holds them in place until the permanent bridge is placed. If the teeth shift, even a little, because the temporary bridge is missing, the permanent bridge will not fit! New impressions will have to be taken and another bridge will have to be made.

What are dental bridges?
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap with one or more artificial (false) teeth. A bridge is typically made of crowns on either side of the missing tooth or teeth supporting the pontic (false tooth) and is cemented in place. The four main types of bridges are:- • Traditional fixed bridge: This bridge is the most common. It has two or more crowns and a filler tooth or teeth that are all connected. The crowns keep the bridge in place. Traditional bridges are made of metal, porcelain fused to metal, or ceramics. • Cantilever bridge: In this bridge type, the pontic connects to only one abutment tooth. This can sometimes be an option for people who have teeth on only one side of the gap. • Maryland dental bridge (resin-bonded bridge): You may have this type of bridge if you have missing front teeth. It’s made of porcelain fused to metal or ceramic teeth, supported by a framework. Wings on each side of the bridge bond to your existing teeth. • Implant supported bridge: This bridge is similar to a “traditional fixed bridge” but instead of being cemented in place to teeth, it is held in place by implants.
Do your Teeth hurt a week after bridge prep?
If you still have the temporary bridge in, it can be somewhat uncomfortable. However, it should be slight, not severe. If it is severe see the dentist. The temp may need to be adjusted. Once the permanent bridge is placed, you should have little to no pain soon after the bridge is placed.

A dental implant consists of the process of replacing a missing tooth with multiple procedures. First inserting the abutment into the gums, to act as the root of the missing tooth, then to attach the crown. A bridge is when you fill the gap of the missing tooth by attaching the false tooth to the adjacent teeth.
