Permanent dental crown question?

about 2 weeks ago I got a permanent crown done and I have been having uncomfortable pain ever since. Prior to that about a month before the crown I had a root canal done and had no pain only after they put the permanent crown. It looks too big and feels too bulky but it's just so uncomfortable. Can it be adjusted easily? Do they have to remove it to adjust it? What could be causing the pain and discomfort? I thought it would go away but I just can't stand it much longer.

Permanent dental crown question?
You really need to go back to the dentist. They can adjust the tooth. I have a one as well, and Mine felt the same way. They just shaved it off some, now it feels fine. good luck.
Reply:once the crown is cemented on they can't remove it and reuse it again. the only adjustment they can do is grind some of it off to keep it from hitting too hard . if you are having problems you need to go back before its too late for them to do anything for you .
Reply:go back and tell the dentist to fix it, you paid for it have them be sure its done correctly! good luck

i think you should go back to the dentist and he should figure out a solution for you!!
Reply:There are several scenarios that could be going one.





1. The crown is too high and needs to be adjusted.


2. The root canal failed, which means you could have an abscess.


3. The pain is coming from another tooth, and you just think that it is the tooth with the crown. Teeth share several nerves, so when you think that it is one hurting in reality it could be another one entirely.


I would see your dentist so he/she can take an x-ray and find out what is going on. Don't wait, go ASAP.
Reply:it shouldnt be uncomfortable,speak up for yourself now and make the dentist fix it.this is protecting the only set of teeth youll ever have.
Reply:The crown might be too high and they might have to adjust your bite. They probably will grind some of it off. Very easy, very simple. It could also be that there is some excess cement left and it's irritating your gums. The cement can also be removed very easily. The crown shouldn't have to be removed, especially if it is permanently cemented.
Reply:your bite may probably off or they did not smooth out the edges of the crown when they had it made





Go back to your dentist and have him try to "file" the top down if it is your bite


If the whole crown is uncomfortable on your gums, they will probably have to remove it and have it redone





If the pain feels like it is in your nerve, the root canal was not done properly. They may not have removed the entire nerve ending or used enough gutta percha to seal the cavity enough.


If this is the case, you will have to go thru another procedure





For your sake, hope its just a bit misalignment!
