I had a crown put on a tooth in July. The dentist said bite was fine but adjusted it just in case. two months later I developed tooth sensitity on the outside surface of the tooth w/ cold sensitivity. Went back to dentist and he did xray, tapping, ice tests, and said the tooth looks fine and thought it was from grinding teeth . Sensodyne toothpaste took discomfort away for a while but its still here. I can chew fine its just soft touche/pressure that irritate tooth. Any ideas?
Answer: Pain after 5 to 6 months on new crown? if pain,discomfort and temperature sensitivity to hot and cold, ask your dentist to take xrays in different direction to check the fit. If the fit is not right you need to redo. Check the bite again for possible adjustment, and if the decay was too close to the nerve you might need root canal.If you grind or clench your teeth, a night guard is a must!

Answer: Crown sensitivity I know that a sensitive tooth can be a real pain to deal with, no pun intended. Getting a crown placed requires a lot of steps that can irritate the tooth...water spray, air spray, sculpting down the tooth....all for a good reason, which is to protect and restore your tooth. These things can irritate the nerve of the tooth and it can take time for sensitivity to subside.

Answer: Sensitivity after a crown If the sensitivity is improving with sensodyne, likely the tooth will get better on its own with time. Sensodyne is great but MI paste is even better for sensitivity, in my opinion. MI paste is available at the dentist's office only. If the sensitivity does not improve after using MI paste OR if you feel like you cannot tolerate the sensitivity and wait for it to get better on its own, you may want to consider seeing an endodontist to have them evaluate for fractures in the tooth or irreversible pulp damage that may not get better on its own. Hope this helps!
