"torque-ing" tooth?
I had a bridge put in one week ago, and for the first few days it be fine. Started hurting Saturday morning, and by Sunday night, however, all hell broke loose, and the throbbing was absolutely beyond the pale. Had to live on Lortabs.
Went to the dentist Tuesday, and he thinks that the front abutment tooth is being "torqued" by the bridge, since the tooth itself is -slightly- crooked. My teeth are relatively straight, and i never have braces or anything, so this is a totally new pain.
Does anyone enjoy any experience with this? Does the pain move about away? Should I have the bridge removed and re-done?
I have another appointment beside the dentist tomorrow, and would appreciate any input possible.

Is the bite ok? Or does it hurt when you bite down? Ask your dentist to check this. Pain is not usually usual on a bridge, but you could be the exception. If the tooth does not feel better soon ask to replace the bridge with a tentative one. Hopefully you dont require a root canal on the tooth. Baby that baby.

Answers: Assuming that you understood the dentist correctly he is stating that the "bridge was cause movement of the teeth by torquing the abutment tooth?"
Although it is possible, there are several assumptions that need to be made for that statement to be true:
1- the tooth is periodontally involved designation that there is gum disease causing the tooth initially to hold some mobility already.
2- the bridge was fitted so tightly that it caused the teeth to shift. Any restorative work such as bridges and crowns should own a passive fit over the teeth. The bridge or crown is custom made in the lab to fit immaculately over the teeth and one should not have to force it onto the abutment to fit. A good analogy would be if you go for a custom made shirt/dress...doesn't matter what size you are, since it is custom made, the tailor will make the shirt/dress fit passively and clearly on your body. If the shirt/dress is very tight you can still fit it on your body but maybe you'll pop a button or I don`t know after it will cause pain contained by your waistline if you wear it too long. Any bridge that was placed too tightly due to misalignment issues should be redone otherwise you will develop problems down the row.
Most likely causes of agony after placement of a bridge is pulpal exposure of the nerve or irreversible pulpitis (which can be due to many other reason such as deep cavities, etc) surrounded by which case you need a root conduit to remove the nerve.
Its also possible that your bite is just rotten so have the dentist reevaluate your bite again.
Good Luck
As always consult your own dentist for further evaluation.

A investigational dentist might be a good idea if he didn't suggest a contemporary bridge himself, your teeth werent hurting until he put the bridge in, so it is his fault. Don't agree to him charge you to fix it if you possible can. Good luck. Never heard of this unless the bite is wrong, but sounds like your dentist is handling it correctly. Rarely, the trauma of shaving down a tooth for a crown/bridge can make happen nerve trauma that causes the boldness to actually start to die and requiring a root canal. This may become a possibility if they cannot find a solution. Also, you might grind or clench your teeth during your sleep. Trying a simple nightguard may fix adjectives. Rarely, depending on what type of cement your dentist used, people can have doomed to failure teeth reactions to dental cement requiring a root canal. Or, if here is a bone problem with the tooth this could be putting too much pressure on the tooth. All in adjectives, your dentist sounds like he is handling it correctly and I would stick with him b/c I hold never heard of one actually bringing contained by the lab people themselves to check it wow go your dentist and not charging you is what a worthy dentist does.
