Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Infection or inflammation in any of the tooth under the bridge could have caused the abscess in the region mentioned.Reinfection of the root canal teeth could be the possible reason.

I would advice you to visit your endodontist and have a radio graph done to evaluate the status of the treated teeth .If infected you can carry on the
re-treatment based on the condition of the teeth.

Do salt water gargling.
Antibiotic may be required based on the infection.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
