extraction under a fixed bridge

My dentist advised that I have an infected tooth under a fixed bridge. Extraction is needed. How is this to be done without damaging the bridge? Thanks

Oh gosh.  I'm really sorry to hear this. If you are like me, these things are beyond stressful.  And when you have something like a bridge which hey, these things are NOT cheap, you don't want to mess it all up.  It's been awhile now so you can tell us what happened and I'll be interested. My guess is they removed the bridge to do the work. Did you get something in place where the took was that was extracted?
