Should I get my bridge readjusted if I can’t floss the neighboring tooth?

There is a gap before my dental bridge and I cannot floss the tooth after the bridge (my natural tooth). It was cemented too close to my back tooth. Should I get this adjusted because I cannot floss my natural tooth (only under the bridge) and it has me worried. The dentist did notice but it was already cemented and could not yank it off. He said I might need it adjusted which takes time or get filling to create space. Any thoughts please, this is on my bottom molars
