What can I do about pain in tooth with crown after getting tooth shaved?

Asked By:ldmckenzie3 in Minneapolis, MN

5 years ago had a crown put on over a tooth with out having a root canal. No issues until last week I was chewing gum and got a zinger. I went to the dentist and got tooth shaved down as it appeared my bite had changed. X-rays showed no damages under crown. That was 5 days ago, I’m still in pain all the time. Ibuprofen doesn’t touch the pain, I had some Vicodin from a surgery I had earlier in the year and have taken that which makes the pain a little more bearable, but still in tremendous amount of pain.
