The molar required a root canal. The irritation at the gum, which my dentist still has not fixed, was a filling that was not smoothed out. The rough edge is cutting the inside of my gum. The dentist said the crown will coverup the spot and will fix it then. Another few weeks of pain. I am switching dentists after the crown. Part of me wants to do it now, but I do not know how one dentist will feel fixing work in progress for another dentist.
Allen, all dentist are not created the same. Do yourself a favor, go to someone who can educate you properly, and help you create a healthy environment in your mouth. It sounds like, you are going to someone who does not have time for you, jumps from one room to another and does not have you on a wellness plan, but on a treating disease plan. You can try to go to www.top3dentists.com and see if you can find a highly qualified dentist to take a look at the situation and help you the best possible. There should be testing on the nerve of the tooth, the gums need to be evaluated and bleeding from your gums are not normal, especially when you yawn!
Please keep us informed on this situation.
