Think my dental bridge is falling out!

Just that really.
Have had a dental bridge for about 25 years and it feels loose?
Can the dentist cement it back in?
Luckily I have a private dentist and they are open (Scotland)
Anyone any experience?
It's not hanging out but I can feel movement as if it is slipping down.
Slightly freaked out as I will have a hideous gap if it falls out.

My husband’s bridge fell out this May. He’s had it for about 15 years. The private dentist asked for photos of bridge and mouth before agreeing to seeing him when they opened in July. They managed to fix it back in and it’s been fine since. It would have cost over £1,500 overwise.

My 19 year old one went last year.
Unfortunately the stump underneath had decayed so I have very few molars

Mine came out early this year. I had told the dentist it felt like it was moving, she checked it and said it was fine. A couple of days later it just fell out. She cemented it back in and under the NHS it was free. A week later it fell out again. She said she would use stronger cement and I had to pay (but it wasn’t much I think £25) and it has stayed this time.

Mine had been in about 20 years.

Thanks all you are reassuring me.
Feels fine when I am eating -just occasional slightly weird feeling in it.
A colleague has advised me just to wait and see as she went to the dentist and he pulled hard on hers and it broke- cost a huge amount of money thousands I think to replace.
It's not so much the money it's the fear of having to around with spaces!

Mine fell out and the teeth holding it on were so soft because of it they were useless . I had to have 2 implants ! I would never have a bridge again.
