I am having a lot of pain in my teeth since getting my permanent dental crown. The crowned tooth feels fine, but 2 of my top front teeth are in pain (from the bite being off, my bottom teeth were hitting the top teeth). The bite has been adjusted twice, the bite feels better but these teeth are still hurting a lot (they NEVER hurt before the placing of the crown). Its been 4 days since the last adjustment.

Answer: Front Teeth Pain From the photos, your front teeth look as though you grind on them. They are very flat. Sometimes, when a back tooth is restored, your bite can get thrown off and that can affect other teeth. In your case, it's the front ones. Your bite needs to be evaluated again and maybe in various jaw positions to see if there are incorrect contacts.

Answer: Pain after crown Thanks for posting the pictures. If you are suddenly contacting more on the front teeth now that you've had a back crown placed it means that things are definitely not fitting together correctly. Making adjustments to the crown is a possibility. The crown may also need to be replaced. I suggest visiting with your dentist and sharing your concerns. From the picture the crown appears over-contoured and fat. this could be displacing your jaw. Remaking the crown is the best way to correct the problem No root canal is needed.
