I had a toothache and decided to go to the dentist. The gum around the tooth is hurting me real bad. The dentist said I needed a crown because my tooth was cracked. He said my gum was not infected and I only needed a crown. I went about 10 days ago and had the temp. put own and it still hurts around the gum and the pain feels like it is nerve and not the tooth. I can not eat anything on that side of my mouth and I am having to take pain medicine every 4 to 6 hrs for pain. The only relief I get is when I lay down and go to sleep. He did ajust the temp crown and I had a little relief for a day or two and now it is still hurting just like before I had the temp put on. Is it possible that they will have to do a root canel or Is it the gums are very sore because I have not had a cleaning in 10 years on my teeth. The dentist said I have to have a deep cleaning and I have three cavities and one is in the tooth right beside the temp crown.
