In Nov I got crown for tooth #30,was broken and doesn't have any infection(#30 was impacted by #31 now removd) I crown altered my bite and caused some pain and mild headaches which started to build up, also started to have stiff jaw. After two months I went to replace the crown. Now I'm waiting for my permanent crown but for last few days I had stiff jaw, weird feeling in my ear and can't close my jaw properly without effort. Is this TMJ? Is this going to be permanent? Please advise. Thank you.
Extraction whether undergoing the trauma of extraction, holding mouth too wide, too long, or pressing the nerve , tooth loss, and changing the bite all can cause TMJ disorder . Any bite change due to restorations ( filling, crown, bridge....can also do the same.
Please ask your dentist to do a complete occlusal ( bite) evaluation and adjustment, and almost always when the cause is removed so is the symptoms.
I recently got two crown lengthing/crowns. I waited a month between the lengthening and crown. It's two weeks later and I'm still throbbing in pain. It's hyper sensitive to cold. Now he says I need a root canal, without even looking in my mouth. I'm suspicious that two teeth suddenly need canals and suspect the process. These new crowns are all ceramic (not metal on ceramic) and I read the cement used might be the issue. I'm leaning towards getting a second opinion.
Teeth have live nerves that can get agitated when friction, drilling, decay, bacteria, and contaminants gets near it. Teeth will become sensitive and may need root canal any time you work on them. The more severe and aggressive the treatment the higher chance of root canal .
You mentioned teeth STILL throb after two weeks. When did it first began? after the crown lengthening? After teeth were prepped? after cementation?
Crown lengthening can cause super sensitivity to cold, but the throbbing goes away as soon as the cold agent ( cold water, cold food) is gone. If you have constant pain to cold, one that you have a cold drink, pain starts and it does NOT go away unless you take medicine , you'll most probably need a root canal. If you tap on your teeth and it hurts all the way up under your nose , you'll probably need root canal.
So, first see a root canal specialist , if you do not need root canal, then rebonding and desensitizing the teeth due to crown lengthening will work.
good luck

Is it waking you up at night?? is it a pain level of 9 out of 10? if you answered yes to both of these then the possibly of a root canal is in your future. Hard to know without seeing you and having the proper diagnostic's.
If its a lower level of pain I would suggest waiting for a week or two and see if the teeth settle down. There is a slight possibly that the cement or the way it was cemented is a problem yet, over time they most offen they will claim down. All the best!
