Is it normal to have a throbbing pain, day and night, under a temp crown? Will I need a root canal all of the sudden?

Asked By:KThom101 in Dallas, TX

I had a crown replaced on one of my top molars. Within a week, my temp came off. They replaced it and it fell off. I went back for the perm, he didnt like how it fit. He sent it back & put on 3rd temp. Week later, third temp fell off, but the perm one was back in. When I went in, he didnt like the color & sent it back. Put on ANOTHER temp, fell off. When perm came in, he didnt like it anymore. Took impressions and he drilled away at my tooth, and now I am on my 5th temp & now it's throbbing.

LOVED my temporary crowns.. Really upset with the final results. I feel like I have a HUGE overbite now. Can they be adjusted?
Matthew Jensen, DDS says:

The dental lab that fabricated your permanent crowns corrected your anterior crossbite (#6 and #27 were in crossbite in the before and temporary photo).  To correct your crossbite, they moved the teeth forward and the result is you feel the crowns "stick out", which they do compared to how...

I have a hole in the backside of my right incisor. Is filling it possible or would a crown be necessary? (Photo)
Kathy Frazar, DDS, FAGD says:

Agree with other dentist here...You have a cavity and appears you have more than one. They just have not broken thru yet..Fillings will most probably work but don't wait any longer.
