It will help if you tell us what type bridge (and/or guitar) you have. If the string is touching the bridge, that's a problem; either your saddle has slipped or worn WAY down. On Gibson "tune-o-matic" type bridges, the saddle pieces are fairly easy to replace, if that's the problem...
This, of course, is assuming that the guitar is set-up properly; talking about neck relief, action adjustment, that type of thing...
