Bridge work

I just had all my teeth crowned about a month ago ai still can't chew on the back right side where I had a crown placed it is a very nice bridge.  My pain has been getting worse and I was told that I did not need a root canal at the time.  My question is if I need a root canal do they have remove and make a new crown or is there away of doing it without ruining this new one. It is also a bit high but just a hair could that cause all this pain.  I also has a huge cross bite that we changed?

Yes, there is a way to drill through a crown and do a root canal and put a liquid cover that hardens over the small hole drilled in the brown. I had this done once at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine by an expert teaching professor. I don't know how many Dentists specialize in this method but I know it can be done and I haven't had a problem with that tooth since.

Going back to your dentist to have more occlusal adjustment is advised. If your dentist can not solve your bite priblem, you may need to see an occlusionist or prosthodontist.
