If he says that the dentist flushed the area with a (I would assume)
Plastic tipped Monoject syringe, it is somewhere just under the finish
line. I can't see what waiting would do.

I say the correct approach would be a flap and a Fuji 9. Either that or
refer to the Periodontist and let him or her do essentially the same
thing.

The other thing would be to remove the bridge and repair the defect.
Then re-do the bridge with a new finish line.

If I was me, I'd say that while he's 'waiting and seeing' he can have
his dentist send the photo to the Periodontist and the Prosthodontist.

In the meantime, I think the OP would need an NTI to unload the area
while sleeping.
