While flossing under the old bridge, lower right side, I heard a tiny click and the bridge popped off. Looks like tooth #31, the back tooth of the bridge, has decayed away. It doesn't hurt at all. I'll call the dentist first thing Monday morning.
I have worried about this bridge for at least ten years. I knew there were problems with #31. It had several root canals and there was some evidence of a cracked root. But every time it flared up it got better in a few days. I always dreaded what they would have to do to remove it when the time came. As it was, I did it myself very painlessly.
