I had an apicoectomy around 6 weeks ago on my 3rd from back tooth. The tooth feels a lot better just slight gum tenderness/numbness where their is scar tissue. The first few weeks my tooth and/or crown seemed loose. The crown now sits lower than the rest of my teeth. It doesn't feel comfortable when I chew. My dentist had said he would replace the crown in 6 months but would it be possible to have something done before then? Or could it affect the success of the apicoectomy?
I went to the Dentist yesterday to get a fractured tooth fixed, he drilled out my old filling and then put a silver tooth cap on it. After I got home and the numbing went away I was in horrible pain. Today I noticed my gum around that tooth is super white.
I got a crown placed about three weeks ago. I can chew soft things just fine but anything crunchy or chewy causes a weird feeling, like pushing on a bruise. It doesn't register as pain, just a discomfort. I just want to be able to chew with my normal strength as this crown is located on my primary chewing side. I wasn't numb during the crown placement so I could make sure my bite felt completely normal. What else could be wrong? Do I still need to have my bite adjusted?
I went to the dentist on Tuesday and they prepped my tooth for a crown. A few hours after the numbing went away, I was in pain. I took ibuprofen that night. The next day it only hurt still. I made an appointment to see the dentist again. They figured the crown was too high. I went to the dentist and they lowered the crown, my tooth felt a little better. But, the pulsing pain is remains. Is it just my tooth being traumatized? This is a tooth that has had a root canal.
Felt a pop on tooth above RC after opening my mouth to remove the gummy stuff placed to remove the bottom crown. I said I hope that didn't move the top crown. He said it won't. He was aware the top crown never felt right before starting. Bite is completely off. Front and left teeth barely touch or not at all. He asked if my teeth were touching together on left side. I said I'm not really sure I was too numb. Went on to next patient. Gave no RX & top tooth is very painful now.
I had my bottom left wisdom tooth pulled about 2 weeks ago. Last night I started to feel a slight numbness in my lower cheek. No pain but it's there and I notice it. Today it's still there, in my cheek and jaw with occasional bottom lip tingling. I looked up infection symptoms and I have none but it is kind of weird that this started 2 weeks after the procedure. I don't have insurance so I can't just go see a doctor whenever. I just need some opinions so that I can make a decision.
