Pain under crown done 6 years + ago
Hello I have severe pain under my crown, my gums are swollen around the crown and are also sore, the most extreme pain I've ever had with a tooth. I had some augmentin on hand which I started taking today, can't see dentist until tues. Does anyone know what this is? Please help. Started yesterday, so today is my second day with this pain. Also have slight swelling in my cheek.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do besides the augmentin and perhaps taking some over the counter pain medication. You could call your dentist and get a prescription of pain medication.
The same thing happened to me. It was an infection under the crown and I ended up losing the tooth because the first dentist I saw refused to remove the crown.
I hope the meds u r taking are the right antibiotic.
