I had permanent crowns placed on my front teeth 7-10 no pain with the temporaries just some gum swelling and irritation. My permanent crowns were placed and now one of my teeth is having severe pain to the lightest touch. I had the dentisit adjust the bite but now I am having pain go from the tooth to my lip, nose and sinus area and the left side of my face is starting to swell. There was no mention of a possible need for a root canal at any point per X-rays or my exam.
