Tooth with crown (I've had the crown over a year) is throbbing and has caused my cheek on that side to swell. I can feel it messing with my sinuses and has caused me a splitting headache. I have had this happen once before and went to my dentist who did the crown (no root canal done) and he filed the crown down and did not seemed concerned that it was swelling my face. Swelling went down a few days later, but it is back once again even worse. Could the tooth under the crown be infected?
Went to dentist yesterday to get a permanent filling and temporary crown after root canal procedure. The procedure was in the upper right side of my face. When the dentist is almost done with my procedure my cheek begins to swell pretty bad, especially on the bottom part of my face. Which is strange since the work was done on upper part of my face. Dentist could not explain why. Woke up today with same swelling. HELP!
Tooth had RCT done and food trapped while temp crown on. She cleaned and put permanent crown was put. After a few days i have pain around ear, neck, jaw etc. went back adjusted the bite. It smelled bad when i floss. Now after 2 days pain still not getting better... my gum is swollen. She said wait for at least a week... black area was shown in the xray around crown and gum line. She said keep it clean floss well.. i am not sure if she needs to redo the crown? It is infected? Any thoughts?
I had zirconium crowns fitted 6 weeks ago. My bottom teeth are painful/sensitive when chewing.gums are red swollen and bleeding Ive had a good clean with a hygienist but theres been no improvement. Could you advise what you think this is? I had the procedure in turkey. So cannot go and see the Dentist. My own Dentist in the uk has refused to do any work on my teeth!
Just got two front crowns replaced and my gums are not reacting well, they're very swollen. The cosmetic dentist sent me to a Periodontist who said I need crown lengthening but I think from the xrays it looks like the crowns are poorly shaped and do not fit my teeth well. Aren't they supposed to follow the tooth contour and not stick out like that?? This was done by a highly-respected cosmetic dentist with high fees who does not accept insurance so I expected better quality... Can I ask him to re-do them?
I had my crown prep work done on teeth 7, 8, 9, and 10. Previously these teeth have suffered a lot of trauma (broke them four years ago after I feel in the shower). 8 and 9 got infected five months ago and underwent root canals. Less than 24 hours ago I got prepped for my permanent crowns. My gums are in a lot of pain. Also my upper lip and part of my nose (below and beside my nostrils) are swollen. Do I need another root canal?
I had a root canal done end of Oct.2016, and today Nov.10 had a temp crown put in, few hours after the procedure, my ears feel like they're popping, and right under my ear and close to my jawline when I lightly put pressure on either it feels like there are pop rocks in my cheek and ear (wondering from the shot?)..the pain is on a scale of 5-7, my face is swollen, and close to the molar there is a hole in my gums..suggestions?
