crown pain
by sungoddesss, Feb 20, 2008 11:31AM
This discussion is related to dental crown problems.
I went to dentist in April 07. I had no pain but a tiny piece of old crown was chipped, The doctor sanded it off and talked me into a gold crown. I didn't really need one but he said what "could" happen later so I went with it. I told him I was allergic to gold less than 14 karate but he insisted I would be able to use this god. Well...I had pus in my gum around the tooth. After deep cleanings etc that went on for 10 months, they pull it off and made me a silver one. I told them I thought it felt high in my mouth and he insisted it was the proper height. That was yesterday. Last night I had a little throbbing pain at one point and it hurts to bite down hard or eat hard food and when I floss I feel like I am toughing a nerve. Cold doesn't seem to bother it. I am going back today to see what can be done but I am also asking for a copy of my records. I don't think he knows what he's doing. There a lot more that I am upset over, like the other side of my mouth. It's time for a new dentist but I already paid for this fiasco.
The tooth was prepared a month ago for the third time so it's not pain from any recent work.He says I don't need a root canal. ??/ Should I have pain or am I being too impatient?
