Please Help!!!

Answer 1

I got a crown on my tooth when I was about 8. It was paintful for about a day or so. you should talk to your densist. hope that was helpful.  

Answer 2

It could be that the bite of the crown is high, so that now every time you are biting down to chew, you are hitting this tooth with more force than the others instead of it being evenly distributed across all your teeth. You need to go back and have the dentist check the bite, and fix it so that you are not biting down on this tooth first. Get That done as soon as you can.

Answer 3

If after getting the crown fitted, you felt that it is high, then this can be the reason. You can go to your dentist and get the level of the crown checked. If you does not feel comfortable even after that then definately it is an abcess. Sometimes when the root canal filling is done, the infection reoccurs and in this case you have to get the root canal treatment redone. for more information on dental topics you can visit www.identalhub.com

Answer 4

It could, unfortunately. Sometimes root canals don't "take" and you have to have them re-done. The good news is that the endodontist can just drill right through your crown to get to it.

P.S. Instead of a root canal, you could have the root capped instead. I chose this after mine became re-infected.

Answer 5

maybe the root of the tooth hadnt completely been killed off hence the pain or the crown hasnt been fitted properly and is too tight

Answer 6

It's been two weeks. I wouldn't think it'd be normal for it to hurting like that. I'd call the dentist.
