What are my options for pain in a crowned tooth that doesn't have a root canal?
emmettdiggerNov 17, 2013
The molar had a fracture so the dentist said I needed a crown. I did not get a root canal. Since having the crown placed, I have discomfort when I bite hard things - chips, nuts, etc. I had the dentist adjust the bite but I still have the pain. What's frustrating is I had no pain or problems before this crown. Am I just stuck with this pain? Do I need to get a root canal now?
