What is Causing the Unbelievable Throbbing INTERMITTEN Pain in my Teeth?

In most cases this type of pain means the tooth will need root canal unsually it takes between 1-4 visits and the treatment can be done through the crown or remove the crown do the root canal and then remake the crown and reinsert. When the nerve dies in a tooth gases are created and pus with no where to escape and that is why it hurts so much. Usually cost of $900.00-$1800.00  Good Luck

The symptoms your describing sound like an irreversible nerve irritation that may require root canal treatment. Luckily, as long as the crown has no other issues, often times an endodontist (root canal specialist) can perform a root canal through your existing crown. This way, you do not have to have a new crown made, but just will need to get the crown patched up once the root canal is completed. Ultimately, you will want to have an endodontist evaluate the tooth to see if this is the case, or if the tooth will get better on its own. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. First to explain, the first early pain yo had was likely more related to the crown treatment, particularly if the edges of the crown were below the gum line. This more recent pain is likely to be more serious, especially as it is more sudden. You should make an appointment with an Endodontist to get to the bottom of things and find a solution as quickly as possible.Good luck and kind regards Thomas Dey, BDS, MSc
