Growing painful lump above faulty crowns
by Nikki906, Aug 05, 2009 09:51PM
Ive been to the dentist and basically they have told me the crowne that was placed was a bad crowne and its leeking. The root was not completly taken out. Well ive waited as long as I can because its so very expensive and dont want my teeth pulled. The lump is HUGE its growing an very painful. I know i need to go back to the dentist but do you think this is something serious will i need surgery or something major. Can this infection harm me besides the pain? Thanks
