I received two temporary bridges on my front 6 teeth in preparation for 6 porcelain crowns 5 days ago. The right bridge has a very pressure-like feeling when I touch the bridge, and has a dull throbbing pain. The gums around these teeth are red, and bleed when I brush. I am supposed to go back next week to get a new set of single temporary crowns Is there anything I can do to ease the discomfort since i'm getting them replaced? I am also curious as to what might cause this pain and inflammation

Every dental office makes their own policy on fractured restorations. Your dentist will need to know exactly what happened when it broke to be able to assess the situation.
An open bite is a result of a temporomandibular joint problem whether there's a bridge there or not. The best way to diagnose that problem is to have a specialized MRI of your jaw joints.
