sensitivity after crowns-whos responsible?

[julesbluesky]

I had several upper crowns (replaced old veneers) put on by a dentist, and then have had sensitivity for eight months.... the office tried other therapies and eventually performed one root canal on a tooth with a dead nerve... my insurance denied the procedure (not sure if its not a covered bene or if theres a waiting period) but regardless the office is taking no responsibility for the root canal... being that the pain wa a result of the crowns procedure...i dont feel they coated the teeth enough beofre putting on the crowns and also dont remember much water in the drilling... Im leaving the dentist and plan to go to an endodontist... i will need several more root canals done and dont feel I should pay fter paying 12 GRAND for the crowns!   teeth look good on the outside but not great on the inside...the wind blows on them and they hurt

Thermal sensitivity may be caused by occlusal interference .

teeth are not coated before a crown they are cemented on and the water used during drilling is to keep you comfortable during the procedure and had nothing to due with the end results. i agree you should get a second opinion before having anything else done. its hard to tell if your dentist is to blame for your problems. any dental procedure has a chance of causing trauma to the nerves.
