Crown - Bite / Chew is not possible
I had a previously -deeply- filled tooth (around 4 years ago). After some time, the side of that teeth broke down slightly and it started to take food between the tooth near it. I had to go to the dentist because of the redness between those tooth, without knowing if it was caused by me (trying to get the food out) or the tooth itself.
The dentist said I need a crown because the tooth is broken and it would not be right to fill that tooth one more time.
He shaped my tooth, and filled the one near it (because of a small cavity). I had to wait without any sort of crowns (no temporary) for a day, and went back to see my dentist.
My temporary crown was placed, but it was hurting every time I bite. There was no height issue when I close down my mouth but biting or chewing was impossible for me.
Because of this reason, my dentist took the temporary crown away and told me to wait without anything to cover the tooth for the next two days, for the original crown to arrive.
I tried not to eat or touch any sorts of food or liquid for that two days, and went back to my dentist this morning. My porcelain crown was made, and placed. He had to play with the crown and made a lot of adjustments before it fitted correctly to the tooth.
Now, I still can not bite anything. The crown is glued temporarily, for me to see if there are any issues, but I can not even bite or chew anything, what is the cause and solution of this problem ?
Thank you !

Thank you for the useful information !
My next appointment (for the final placement or decision) in on thursday, which leaves me around 2 days. Is this enough amount of time to understand if the problem is temporary or needing a root canal ?

Hi,
It's possible that the dentist irritated your gums when the crown was placed or there may be some of the temp glue irritating your gum. This is temporary and should go away within a few days. Rinsing gently with warm salt water (1/4 tsp in 8oz water) 5 to 6 times a day will greatly relieve any pain and inflammation.
It's also possible that any infection that tooth had from the large filling break has reached the nerve and you will need that tooth root canaled before the final crown is placed. If you still have pain, do not have your permanent crown placed until a decision is made regarding that.
GOOD LUCK. Please let us know how you make out with this.
My best to you,
Gellia
