Bridge doesn't fit proper

i had a bridge put in upper left. the 3 teeth behind my eye tooth. now i cant clench my teeth. my lower eye tooth hits my upper eye tooth and also the tooth in front of the eye tooth. the dentist already ginded down on the upper eye tooth and that didnt help the fit. now he wants to grind down my lower eye tooth to see if that helps. it just dosent sound right to me. i think he should fix the bridge. my jaw neck and head are starting to hurt. and i have to be careful how i eat so i dont bite to hard. should i let him grind on my nateral tooth or should he fix the bridge?
