My tooth is really sensitive after having a crown fitted, what should I do?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor, 

I recently had a porcelain cap fitted to a molare, as the tooth weakened and cracked. Unfortunately the dentist did not fit the tooth right into the gum now my mouth feels as though it is “alive” I cannot touch it without leaping in the air and it throbs for ages afterwards – it is the most horrendous tooth ache! i have tried sensitive tooth based rubbed around the gum edge – but it is not working. Is this normal? What can I do? Thank you for your time

My crown has been filed away and there is a gap between gum and tooth, is this normal?

Monday, March 14th, 2011
Q.

My gold crown was filed down in the top centre of the tooth to make it fit better. The gold has been filed away leaving what looks like the cement or the filling (I had root canal). Is the crown still effective after its been filed (drilled) away like this please?

Also the crown does not meet the gum – ie i can feel a slight gap with my tongue. Is this normal?

I had an implant crown fitted and the gum around it is receeding, what should I do?

Thursday, January 20th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I knocked my front tooth out when I was younger and wore a bridge (one sided) for years. Last year (aged 28) I decided to have an implant fitted instead. It was fitted and my dentist had to rebuild the gum above. Anyways it all went ok and then last Sept he fitted my new porcelain crown. Over the last 8 months my the gum surround my teeth EITHER SIDE OF the implant has become very red and has started to receed. This is gum above 2 good teeth and not above the implant. The gum above the implant has receeded a little too but I think that is cause they had to rebuild it so much in the first place. My concern is as to why the gum is receeding above my good teeth. My dentist cannot figure it out but says it has nothing to do with my implant yet before I had this fitted there was nothing wrong. What do you think? Do you think it could be to do with the crown itself? Please help as Im worried I might start losing some teeth! Thanks,

A.
