Hi rdailey,
No, I was referring to cutting back on the actual porcelain on the pontic (fake tooth) where it meets the gum line.
Sometimes they will use a laser to reduce the amount of gum tissue along that margin. If you are going to do that, it should be done soon so that you can clean it better.
I would still get a second opinion on the fit of the bridge. It would be ideal to bring your x-rays with you and let the consulting dentist take an x-ray of that area to see how the bridge is fitting along the margins.

Thanks again.
