I had a temporary crown placed two days ago on the back molar on the right side of my mouth. The gum area directly behind the tooth have been swollen and throbbing ever since, and now going on day three there are two areas that have developed a white patch. Its a holiday weekend and my dentist isnt calling back so Im just wondering if I should go to an urgent care for antibiotics? Just not sure if its healing from the trauma or becoming infected.
I had a crown done on one of my molar tooth about 10years ago. However for the past 2 years I have been getting tooth ache and severe pain in that crown. I have been to the dentist who x-rayed the area and has established that an instrument had been broken inside the tooth whilst the crown was done and is still there. I also get an abscess in the area which has to be treated with antibiotics.
Have had pain in this tooth for a couple of weeks previous and a swelling of the gum above the tooth for a couple of weeks, I'm hoping the dentist will see me tomorrow and be able to re fit the crown easily enough. The pain has subsided since the crown has fallen out..... I'm thinking maybe abscess? If this is the case will the dentist be able to re fit the crown or will the abscess complicate the matter?
said I have an abcess because prior dentist left temp filling in and did not remove when putting regular filling in. dr. cleaned it all out 2 days ago but still in pain. said it's normal and continue antibiotics and advil. I never had such a chronic pain after seeing an endotontist. usually I'm fine right away. concerned
i got my molars filled with these dark coloured filling about an year ago. there was pain when i applied pressure with my finger on them at hat time. but now after filling no problems faced except a little senstivity on them for about 2 seconds from very chilled or hot water that too not always. do i need a root canal? is x ray be important to identify any problems? will my cavity get severe and will form an abscess? what are the signs that i should not ignore and seek dentist. iamveryanxious!
On my first molar, the endodontist wants to drill through the ceramic crown (placed in 2011) to do re treatment of root canal (initially done in 2008) cause there is painful abscess there and to investigate if a forth (untreated) root is there. Is drilling through casted post and core feasible? Will this drilling make the crown weaker at the end? Is it better to try to remove the crown as a whole? Is it a good strategy to go on antibiotics and simply wait and see?
My upper left #14 with a crown has an abscess. I saw a dentist who specializes in Endodontics and he gave me a referral to another Endodontic specialist. He said that the root canal procedure on an upper molar was trickier and the dentist that he referred me to would be better qualified to handle my case. I do not understand what the difference is between doing a root canal on a lower or upper molar. What is the difference?
I recently had to have a tooth extracted due to an abscess. I was started on antibiotics. I wanted an implant and had it placed the same day I had the extraction. The X-RAY showed a huge pocket of pus and my roots of my molar were very close to my sinus, causing my recurrent sinus infections. I felt relief almost immediately. Now six months later after I recieved my crown, again, my sinus infections are back. Is it my teeth or my sinuses? Should I see an ENT?
