My gums are swollen and jaw the tooth is throbbing and was bleeding earlier in the day. I can't bite down at all. I can barley eat anything without it hurting including drinking certain stuff. I don't know what to do.
Answer: Extreme pain could mean an unhealthy nerve It is very common for a tooth receiving crown treatment to be sensitive and also common for gums to be irritated from the procedure. If you are wearing a temporary crown, it is common to have pain when biting down. You should visit with your dentist to determine if the pain you are having may require further treatment such as a root canal to stop the pain.

Answer: Pain is BAD I'm sorry to hear that you're in so much agony. I would definitely call the doctor you saw immediately. It is normal to have some pain after crown preparation procedures but intense throbbing is not. Potential issues might be:

Answer: I'm having extreme throbbing pain after getting a crown. Thank you for your question. I am sorry you are experiencing pain and can not eat. The best thing to do is to call the doctor, who placed the crown. He is familiar with your case. It sounds like the nerves in the tooth and/or around it are inflamed.He may recommend to adjust your crown. If that does not help, taking antibiotics afterwards might help. The is also a possibility of a root canal therapy based on your description, but your treating doctor would have a complete information to make an appropriate decision and recommendation.

Answer: Throbbing Sounds like an infected tooth to me. Could be from a lot of things -- dead or infected tooth pulp, gum infection from debris left from crown procedure or deep periodontal pocket. Get to the dentist.

Answer: Throbbing It sounds like you had the tooth prepared for a crown and have a temporary on?? When we do a crown or filling, we cut into the tooth which is a part of the body. So it is just like surgery...the body is going to react and you often will have some pain or discomfort for a few days.Warm salt water rinses can help calm the gums down; Ibuprofen or Alleve can help with the throbbing. If it is not better in another day, I would go back and see the dentist. It sounds like the temp may well have a high bite which can cause the tooth to remain sensitive and hurt to chew on. This can be adjusted and the tooth should be better each day. Some cold sensitivity is normal.
