Your dealing with one of three issues. First, if the Crown isn't properly balanced, meaning that when you chew and close you teeth together it's the "first" one to hit, it's what we call "To High"..Hitting out of balance will make the tooth sore and if not corrected can create other tooth problems. Second, if the Crown was put over a tooth with a root canal in it, it may be the root canal still has an abscess infection at it's root that wasn't completely healed, and it will probably get worse. See your DDS right away, this isn't something you let go on any longer. Good luck and I wish you well.
Reply:They shouldn't hurt at all. Either your bite is way off or you have an abscessed tooth. Call your doctor and get this taken care of.


The bite problem can be adjusted by grinding blue paper between your teeth to locate the "bite problem" and then having the dentist grind down your crown. The infection, if present, can be taken care of by antibiotics...worst case, a root canal.





Pain pills are not going to help forever, are they?
Reply:Have you gone back to the dentist for a bite adjustment? If the crown(s) are even a tiny bit high, it will hurt when you bite down.





The dentist should check by having you bite down on a strip of blue articulating paper which will show him where the high spots are.





You can also have pain at the gumline for quite a while as your mouth gets used to the new crowns.





Definitely go back for an adjustment -- there should be no charge for the visit. Until you are comfortable, the job isn't done. Take care and good luck.
