New crowns should not impinge upon the underlying bone and connective tissue fibers overlying the bone. If crowns are prepared too deep, the gum tissue in time will be irritated, inflamed, recede or may even develop pathologic gum pockets.
I read this and it scared me to death, this is from a dentists site, I forget which one.
also, I have started getting headaches and a little dizzy. LOL I know it is all caused from the crown he put on. I have never had this happen to me before and my jaw is sore and the bottom of my chin and neck muscles feel like they pull once in a while.
I don't trust general dentists anymore. If you went to a general dentist for this, maybe you might want to re think going to a prosthodontist. I have a trouble with a crown for 7 months and it is still irritating my gums. I am trying to figure out which prothodontist to go to but it is hard. My other dentist that put it on lol he states there isn't anything wrong with it. Better go to a professional with some experience no matter if it cost a little more, it will probably be worth it in the long run.
I might go to a general dentist for cleaning, but not for anymore restorations like a crown.
This crown he put on my mouth is receding my gums also, he tried to say it was the way I brushed. I said if it is the way I brush, why are my other gums fine.
What a mess. Now my facial muscles feel like they are moving and my arm feels like it is getting numb. Probably because of the nerve, but I think when he put the crown on he pinched a nerve or something and crown itself is ill fitting. really ill fitting.
Hope you can get your issue resolved, Beleive me go to a specialist, you will be alot better off. I just can't decide who I want to go to but I have to get this crown off of my tooth before it causes more damage that it already has.
Good luck
