Yes, you can. There can be many reasons, ranging from something getting stuck under the bridge to one of the teeth getting infected and the swelling showing up under the bridge.
Yes, but only if the infection is related to the teeth supporting the bridge. Periodontal disease or endodontic infection may drain or present itself partly under the bridge, but will be related to the teeth supporting it. It's the only way.
You can get both Periodontal, and or Endodontics infection as well as cavity under the bridge. Depending to the nature of your infection, different modality of the treatments are available. Remember the sooner you address the infection, the higher chance you can save your teeth and possibly your dental bridge. Good Luck.
