Ok...so I had a root canal last Tuesday and had a silver crown placed. My tooth hurts when any pressure is put on the tooth and the pain would never go away completely. I went back today and my dentist took off the original crown and put on another one a size smaller. The dentist said it should help but it didnt so I am in a lot of pain still. Before removing and placing a new crown the dentist took an x-ray and the tooth looked fine
Hello, The tooth pain following root canal treatment and crown placement can be secondary to any high points or improperly treated root canals. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If there is high point, it can be reduced in the crown. If there is problem with the root canal treatment, then the treatment has to be redone. You can upload the images of the radiograph so that I can give you better diagnosis and treatment plan. If I am your treating doctor, I would have advised you to take a course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin and analgesics like Diclofenac. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
