Brief Answer:
Root canal, re-cementation of bridge/cap..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome back..

As per your answers, the tooth that is painful will first of all need an x ray to check for the level/ severity of infection and accordingly the treatment can be done..

In case if tooth is in a condition to be saved then root canal treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers will relieve..

In case if there is gross decay extraction is advisable..

For the bridge/ caps that are removed/dislodged and if you still have them in intact position you can take it to a dentist and if they are still fitting well, then can be recemented or glued over the supporting teeth..

Any further queries are welcome..

Regards.
