FAQ: Dental Crowns

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

Question:
Extensive crown work, excruciating sensitivity: I spent March, April, and May getting 12 crowns, 1 tooth pulled, one root canal and a filling.

I can not open my mouth under 68 degrees! I have been able to tell if the temperature control in the house has been turned below 70. I have to drink WITH A STRAW and eat food at room temperature.

The dentist has adjusted my bite a few times with carbon paper. Also, I have consulted with endodontists to see if I am requiring any root canals, and no one can find any problems.

I need serious help. I have now spent $8-9,000, and it has now been 8 months since treatment was completed. ...Visitor from AR

Answer:
If the dentist hasn't tried anti-inflammatories like Decadron, then you can ask about it. This can be a very effective treatment option.

If your bite is good (this needs to be reverified), then the only answer has to be pulpal (nerve) inflammation. See another endodontist and get a second opinion and if a suitable dose of anti-inflammatories doesn't improve your situation, you may need some root canal therapy.

Note: I would have your bite checked several times from different perspectives. An example would be lying down and sitting up and postures in between. Have your dentist check centric relation, maximum centric and check for potential excursive or protrusive interferences. Good luck
