pain after crown prep
hi there can anyone give me some advice please?? i had a crown preparation for my upper (2112) 4days ago and one tooth in particular was sensitive during the prep and now feels very sensitive all the time and is TTP!! is is not that bad that i need painkillers as yet but it is like a dull ache all the time. i am getting worried that the nerve may be dying??? can you suggest anything please or is this normal?? thanks very much
I'm having the same problem myself but I was warned after the treatment that the area around the tooth would be sensitive and that I would probably need to take pain medication. I've also got pain where the injections went in to numb the tooth. It took about 30 minutes to drill through the old filling and the tooth so I hope it's just a reaction to that. The first night after the treatment, I was in quite a lot of pain but the day after was ok - today it's been a sort of niggly pain, not bad but enough to make me realise it's not quite right. Hopefully it'll subside and all will be well when the crown is fitted in 2 weeks.
