Is it normal to have severe pain following having a crown fitted?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

Hi,
I had a crown fitted (the first one I have had done) at the back of my mouth last week and it has been really sore since it was done. My dentist said that it may be a bit sensitive for a while but this is really sore – it wakes me up at night! I have been taking lots of painkillers, which I don’t like to do but it is so sore I don’t really have an option. I’d just like to know if this is normal? – there is no swelling or anything and it really doesn’t look like there is anything wrong. Should I leave it a week or so to see if it settles down or is this not normal!?

Would a bridge be suitable for a tooth that is fractured and another that is deeply filled?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

I am a 53 year old female. Have always taken great care of my teeth. Over recent years have been treated by my dentist and hygienist for receding gums. Visited my dentist yesterday with what I though was just a crack in one of my old fillings, only to be told that the tooth was actually fractured vertically. It is in my upper jaw and third from the back. I have a wide smile and it will definitely show if I have it removed. My dentist advised that it may last for a year, (he drilled out the old filling and repacked it)
He was less than helpful about my options and I left the surgery confused and shocked. My question is would I be better off having an implant or a bridge to replace the gap. One of the teeth that would be needed to support the bridge is deeply filled. Also a guide to how much this would cost would be useful.
Thank you very much for your time.

What can I do to replace a tooth that may need to be extracted?

Friday, November 19th, 2010
Q.
Half of my back molar fell out so I’ve had two fillings which have fell out. Last time I visited my dentist gave me a replacement filling and some antibiotics for an abscess on the same tooth. The abscess still hasn’t gone so I think I’l have to get it taken out now which I’m very worried about, I don’t want to forever have a gap in my mouth and I also read that having a gap from a missing tooth will cause your other teeth to move and may fall out aswell. I’m 16 and really worried about it. Is there anything I can have done to replace the tooth?,

Is it normal to see black dots on the inside part of my newly fitted crown?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010
Q.
I had a porcelain crown with gold on the inside, fitted to my upper molar. When I got home I noticed 2tiny blackish dots on the inside part of the crown, near the bottom. Since it’s not on the outside visible side of the crown I don’t care about the appearance. I am very worried that the dentist perforated the surface(yet it feels completely smooth) while attempting to fit it better to my mouth and bite line, and therefore weakened the crown. When I notified her of this she said that it was just the gold part peeking through and not to worry. I’m afraid she is not being entirely truthful. None of my other crowns have this marking. Help!!,

It is likely that your dentist… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
