Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I have just had a front crown re-fitted (upper right tooth next to my front tooth). I usually eat on my left but I lost small part of filling (very old one) and wanted it replacing with white filling. My dentist (excellent) did not want to do it because he said could cause problems but I insisted and true enough, Ive got problems that I cannot eat left side because that tooth now sensitive. Hence now eat right side and crown came loose. No pain at all, had it re-fitted (last Thursday) Had little settling in pain but last 2 days after going to bed I am woken up by intense pain from this crown, so much so I cannot touch the tooth. Have been given antibiotics. I noticed within 3 or 4 hours of being up the pain died down. I am currently on nights. I worked last night with no pain (just very tired lack of sleep) Came home this morning went to bed 07.45. Got up 10.30 for toilet, No pain. Straight back to sleep and was woken with intense pain by 14.15. I could not touch the tooth. I have been up now 2 1/2 hours. I lay on the settee but pain bad so I did few job round the house and pain is subsiding and I can touch the tooth. I go back to my dentist on Fri morning but I just wondered what do you think is happening. This pain seems to occur when I have been lay down. Thank for your time in answering my question.
