I had every single tooth crowned 8 days ago. The pain is still unbearable without painkillers every 3 hours. The pain is random so can start upper left in the morning, lower right in afternoon but the worst is waking up with severe pain as the painkillers have worn off in the night. I’m also sensitive to hot and cold and can only eat soft foods. Problem is I had teeth done in Turkey, now back home in my country and my dentist here says there’s no infection or swelling and can’t explain the pain.

Answer: Explanation for the jaw pain in the morning
Temp crowns can taste bad from the cement, but they should not cause you to lost your sense of taste. This is a pretty common Covid symptom, so you may want to consider getting a test if you have a fever or any other symptoms.
This could be a few things. Likely it is gingival inflammation from the old crown. Removing and redoing it would eliminate this issue.
Another possibility is the root canal is reinfected. At any rate, make sure you discuss this with your dentist more so the problem can be properly...
