I had the same issue with an uncomfortable crown. My dentist is gonna take the crown off and put a temp on to see if the symptoms subside. He said it could just be a crack under the crown or an ill fitting crown.
Dr. JB,
Thanks for your time and your reply back.
I appreciate your honesty and help will the problem.
Your suggestion was very helpful. I believe that is what I will do.
Thanks again.
This is an interesting question. Frankly, I am at a loss, but if the discomfort does not abate I would suggest that the crown be removed, the nerve checked for vitality, a temp be made until the symptoms disappear.
Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
I suppose I could get a 2nd opinion.
In a way, I feel that perhaps it would be a waste of money since my own DDS couldn't find an answer to the problem.
I would almost rather put that money towards payment to my own DDS to remove the current tight crown and put a temp crown on tooth for about a month...and see if that tightness goes away. If it does...then have a new crown made. Of course, my ins won't pay for another one...but
I haven't suggested that to my DDS yet as I was hoping this feeling would go away. However, since it has not & my DDS seems to have NO ANSWERS do you think it would be alright to tell my DDS what I would like him to do? I am not trying to take over his job...as he is the DR.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
hard to tell without seing it. why not go for another opinion if your current dds has no answer?
