“Is it painful to have a dental bridge removed?”
I will remove my dental bridge next week. Is it painful to have a dental bridge removed?

A dental bridge is normally cemented to the supporting natural teeth. They can be difficult to remove, so I usually make narrow cuts in the bridge (not the teeth) and then can usually remove them fairly easily, not painfully.
No.
Whether it's painful to have a dental bridge removed falls into the category of "depends" - if you trust your dentist (if you don't you should be finding another one) they will typically use a local anesthetic if the removal could be uncomfortable.
