The edges of my crown feel sharp to the tongue

labyaladoiDec 31, 2017
I have had two missing upper front teeth crowned along with side teeth bridged. Now I feel inner edges of crown are sharp to my tongue when the tongue moves and it irritates to me in my communication. The air is releasing through the margin of the crown. I don't feel comfortable. Is there any way to fix this? Please.

Hi:This could be a coincidence or the bite has to be adjusted.  Please go back to your dentist to check the bite on the new crown and check for clenching and grinding pressure on your back teeth as well.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hello! Well, if its just the crown that is broken, but the root still has a good structure left, its possible that you can get a root canal and a post so a new crown can be placed, of course to verify if this is possible xrays need to be taken by your dentist.  Hope this helps, good luck

If you had root canal years ago & is sensitive now, it might be fractured, or it could still have some residual infection. I 'll recommend to have it checked by an endodontist.
