Question:
Last year I developed an infection on the side of an upper crown that never gave me a problem in the 10 or so years I had it. I had to go to a different different dentist, as mine was on vacation and the pain was too bad. I ended up with a root canal and a new crown.

Two weeks later at check up I asked why it still bothered me. I was told I would get better and I just had to "get used to it." My first crown never ever bothered me. I have constant irritation, intermittent pain and I always know the crown is there. My jaw aches at times. The dentist who did it didn't seem concerned, so he ain't my dentist anymore. Who should I see? ...Visitor from NJ

Answer:
First place to investigate is with a general dentist. Either your root canal is still infected or poorly done or the crown fits poorly. Or simply the area may still be healing.
