I also have dentures and a bridge. Depending on when you got the dentures (if it was recently) you should tell the dentist you are not satisfied with his work and he should make it right. It is 900$. If you have had it for awhile he can reglue it (they use a combination of acrylic and something else... Like found in nail glue). Hopefully he will do it for free. My bridge fell out after having it for a week and I went right back to the dentist and he fixed it right away so hopefully your dentist will do the same. I would not recommend regluing it yourself becuase if you screw it up worse it may not be able to be fixed but if the dentist screws it up he has to pay and fix it.
ALSO... He told you to flush it out which led to it getting looser so mention that when you go back to see him.

It is not a bridge but a permanent tooth
