My dentist put a temp crown(no root canal) over the area(cavity was tiny) till the perm. is ready. Its been 9 days since i got the temp. and my tooth is still bothering me. I was fine 2 days after temp. but then the tooth started to become sensitive with hot or cold food. Now it bothers me even when im not eating. It pulsates like its got a pulse. The thing is, now a few of my other teeth are starting to feel the same way (pulsate). Why is that? I'm away and cant get to my doc. What do i do?
