I have Trigeminal Neurology. pain developed after crown was replaced do i need to see another dentist?

Q. I had a 30+ year gold crown replaced 3 years ago and have had pain ever since. The dentist referred me to a Neurologist that I have been seeing for MS and it was determined that I have Trigeminal Neurology and have been prescribed medicines to control the pain in the cheek, gums, lips, etc. But I still have pain around the crown, cannot get juice, fruit, etc near it. If I bite something on the crown it feels like something is under it and feels like I am biting on tin foil. I have been back to my dentist many times and am always told the crown is fine and to just keep taking my medicine. Is it time to see a new dentist for another opinion? I have a problem of insurance and who I can see. Thank you.

If you feel you need a second opinion then I wouldprobably suggest that this is a good idea.  You obviously are beginning to loose confidence in your dentist – who may well be right but another set of eyes may cast new light on your situation
