Pain on tooth when biting after having permanent crown put on

August 7, 2015
Asked By:jackn in Houston, TX

They had a hard time getting the temporary crown off. It felt as if they were pulling my tooth out and this created pain. He had to deaden my mouth to put in the permanent crown. This was 3 days ago and the tooth hurts when I bite down on it. Only when I bite. Could they have messed up the nerve or couldn't tooth possibly just be sore?
