Question:
Root Canal - Crown Prep: I had a root canal on #3 a couple of months ago. The dentist put in a build up to prepare for a crown. I was still experiencing pain, and had cavities filled in #2, 4 and 5 a month later (last month).

I still feel some sensitivity around that area, but cannot pin point it. I have heard that before a crown is placed over a root canal, there is sensitivity. How long should it last? Will the sensitivity decrease with the crown in? ...Visitor from GA

Answer:
The fact that you still have some sensitivity around tooth number 3 is not at all uncommon. Not all teeth read the text books.

This is to say that not all procedures performed follow the exact same post-operative course. Many times with root canal teeth, it is a couple of weeks to perhaps months before things quiet down.

At the base of the root or what is called the apex of the tooth, are the last vestiages of the infection in the tooth. This area frequently takes some time for your body to do the "clean" up of the "war zone" that was your former nerve.

A crown has little or no influence of your post-operative experiences. Time is your best friend here.
