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

Question:
Crowned tooth sensitivity: Two months ago, part of one of my back upper molars broke off due to a large filling from 25 years ago decaying further. I had a temporary cap put on while the crown was being made. During this time, anytime I bit down on anything, it was excrutiating pain.

I told my dentist about this and she put the new crown on, taking alot of care to try to make my bite correct. The same pain persists with the permanent crown, so I returned to my dentist and she tried to further make the crown fit. She feels like it could just be trauma to the nerve, etc.

I can't eat on that side at all. I have noticed that cold and hot liquids cause the same pain. Does this mean a root canal? Or could it be that the nerve is going to settle down eventually? ...Visitor from CA

Answer:
Even if the bite is correct, you could be grinding on the tooth at night in a different jaw postion. The fix for that is a niteguard. However, you may need a root canal if the tooth doesn't settle down.

You need to determine how much pain you are willing to live with before doing a root canal.
