The the constant throbbing pain is enough to prevent me from sleeping, I have been unable to eat or drink much of anything without pain only intensifying. I had no root canals done on these crowns, I felt no pain while I had the temporaries in place, pain only happened after permanents were put into place. I was told to wait a week, but the pain has become unbearable, and if I happen to touch the tooth a sharp shooting pain follows. Please advice. Thank you

Answer: Dental pain Sorry to hear that you're in pain. Pain after permanent crowns can be related to multiple reasons. You mentioned that you didn't feel pain during the temporary crowns period, so I assume pain could be related to occlusion interference. The porcelain is harder and isn't forgivable like the temporaries ones when it come to functionality. I suggest you avoid chewing on them and try to wear an OTC mouthguard until you can see you dentist to determine the exact reason.

Answer: Pain after crowns In the US we don't automatically do root canals every time a crown is done. There could be several reasons for the pain on one crown. Most likely it needs a bite adjustment. This is a very simple process. I suggest calling the doctors office and sharing the level of your discomfort. Your dentist would not want you experiencing such pain. CAll today to get an appointment. If it turns out that a root canal is necessary don't worry. This is a routine procedure.
