Pain with Temporary Crowns?

User Avatar

Early August I had a root canal on tooth # 31. For about a week, the tooth continued to hurt. I then went in to have teeth # 30 & 32 prepped for crowns as I had old gold fillings and the Dentist said there were cavities underneath the old fillings. A temp crown put on over all three teeth. 3 wks later, now they all hurt. I have had throbbing wake me from sleep. I saw him 2X about this & he told me they were just inflammed and I can have a root canal if I don't want pain. I am SO MAD !!
