Why Do I Have Pain After the Permanent Crowns Have Been Placed. I Had No Pain with the Temporary's at All?

Asked By:blessing5

My dentist replaced two of my old molar fillings with crowns. I had absolutely no pain with the temps., but immediately after he placed the permanent crowns, I have been in throbbing pain, unable to eat on them, ect. They throb even when I'm no eating. He told me that he looked at the x-ray several times, and feels that my nerve is far away from the crown and doesn't think that a root canal should be necessary. The pain has gotten worse, and it's been almost 5 weeks. What should I do? Allie
