Follow-up Question: Pain biting and chewing on temporary crown for 2 weeks

October 4, 2017
Asked By:stearno in San Francisco, CA

Follow up to previous QA: I recently had an old crown replaced. I had no pain, just difficulty flossing from an overhang. Since temporary has been on I have pain when chewing or biting. My dentist thought it was the nerve disrupted during the procedure and sent me to an endodontist for eval. The endo just told me to take advil and come back in another week to eval. Ive been taking advil and zero change, not worse or better. BOTH ENDO AND DENTIST CHECKED CROWN FOR BITE AND SAID IT WAS OK.
