Crazy New Bridge is Driving Me Crazy

Two years ago I fell face first on concrete. I cracked the bottoms of my front two top teeth. They were able to bond them back to normal, and have had no problem. The issue was that the next three teeth further back all had hairline cracks. Several months I was eating and cracked the back half of not the canine, but the two past that. My dentist told me I need to have them pulled. I also had a root canal on the furthers cracked tooth and the one past it, which they will put a crown on.

I had the tooth pulled and the dentist recommended a bridge. It anchors on to my canine, there are two false teeth attached to it and then the last anchors onto a molar. I had the temporary for two months. It always hurt. Not exrutiating, but a constant dull ache in several places that made it impossible to forget about, let alone eat or enjoy my life. I went back to the dentist twice, but he acts as if he doesn't know why and everyone else has no problem, why do I. Finally Tuesday I went for the permanent, hoping it would be better. I had it fitted for about a half hour, and it seemed no better. It was the wrong color though, so they had to send it back, and se nt me home with my temp. The dentist cleaned it quite a lot and got out what he said was a lot of chunky cement which he things might have caused the pain. What is did was make it very lose, so theoretically it shouldn't hurt. Is still does, a little, but the problem is I just can't get used to it or stop thinking about it. It literally drives me crazy and I just want to rip it out of my mouth 50 times a day.

Are there people who just can't wear a bridge?

Thanks
