I have sensitive teeth after a cerec crown

Q. I have one Cerec crown and due to have more. However I am nervous as when preparing this particular tooth some of the dentine of the tooth has been left exposed. It is sensitive to cold (wasn’t a problem before) but has settled down a little. My dentist coated the area but I am not happy about it. Having had this treatment done on this tooth I feel it should have been better than this. Please could you advise what to do and whether to trust this would not happen to the other planned teeth.

 

A. many thanks for your enquiry. when a tooth is prepared, it should always be sealed with a bonding agent, this ensures that the dentine is sealed and should be less sensitive. after the crown is fitted patients can still suffer from sensitivity for a week or so but this is usually due to the tooth settling down after the procedure. the best thing would be to discuss this with the dentist before the remaining planned treatment. hopefully he will put your mind and rest and the remaining treatment will be done with no more hiccups. the good news is that if the sensitivity is decreasing it should completely resolve in time. hope all this is helpful.
