Question:
In two days it will be two weeks since I had 18 teeth prepared for crowns over a two-day period. Since that time, I have had intense throbbing pain in the roots of most of the teeth (bottom ones especially). I am taking 4800 mg of ibuprofen a day (three or four hour intervals) and vicodin along with it at night. After 2.5 hours, the pain starts returning and is unbearable within half an hour.

My dentist says this is normal and it will start to go away after the permanent crowns are on. I am concerned that it might not go away. Could use advice on how normal or abnormal this is. ... Visitor from CA

Answer:
With this much treatment at one time, it is fairly normal to experience pain of this level. I too have had this happen to me and all returned to normal after we bonded the final crowns in. Hang in there and wait until the finals are seated and hopefully all will return to normal after final cementation.
