Question:
Temporary fillings - waiting for crowns: I had 2 very deep border line root canal cavitites in my last 2 teeth up top.

My dentist went in and said that I didn't need a root canal but I needed a full crown on one tooth and a partial crown on the other. It has been over a week since I have my temporary fillings in and I am still in a lot of pain.

I have been taking IB prophin for days straight every 4 hours. Is this normal to be hurting? It is a throbbing pain and even my ear is hurting me. I already went to her once already to fix my bite.

My permanent crowns come in next week. Is this pain normal and will it get better when my permenant crowns are placed?

Answer:
It is not normal to be in pain for this length of time and the pain in your ear may give some possible clues to the problem.

The permanent crowns usually do not solve the problem so my advice is for you to return to your dentist and explain it all. You may require root canal treatment or a possible bite adjustment.

You did not mention if you are hot or cold sensitive nor if you were able to chew or put pressure on these teeth.

If you are not happy with the results after seeing your dentist again, get a second opinion, it may be worth your effort.
