Sensitive Teeth Loose Crowns Gold vs Porcelain Crown Lengthening	Leakage Historical Standard How To Prevent Failures Crowns - Getting it Right the First Time

Question:
About 4 days ago, a Dentist that I've never been to here in Dallas did a crown preparation on my upper right molar, the one just in front of the wisdom tooth. He said that the decay was very close to the nerve and he made a vague reference to perhaps needing a root canal.

He fitted me with a temporary crown while we wait on the permanent crown to come in. I am in constant pain with this temporary crown. If I take 600MG of Ibuprofin, it will eliminate the pain completely for about 6 hours, so as long as I keep taking three Ibuprofin every six hours, I'm fine, but as soon as it wears off, the pain returns!

Is this normal or abnormal to have this much pain with a temporary crown AND ... if we go in and do the root canal after we have put in the new crown, can the new crown still be put back on my tooth, or am I out hundreds of dollars on yet another crown for the tooth that got the root canal? ...John in TX

Answer:
John, no, get the root canal done before the crown is cemented. There should be no problems. Your dentist seems to be doing things conservatively and obviously has advised you of possible complications which have happened.
