Is the pain due to sinus or crownless tooth?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dr. Patel, I had a major sinus infection for about a week now. My dentist took an x-ray of #2 and #3 (both had root canals in the past with no complications)with no issues. Apparently, I have deep sinus cavities. Some info recently: #2 crown broke a month ago and was reordered for replacement next week. It’s been crownless. Now, #3 hurts bad. The dentist gave me pain relieve and antiobiotic. But #3 still #3 hurts. Is it sinus related? Is it becuase #2 crown is not there and things are shifting?

Q.
I have a front gold crown tooth about 18 years and i would like to have it remove from my tooth. I had x-rays done last year and i have no tooth decay. Should i have the crown just removed and use teeth whiting or have them bleach?

Can i cover my gold crown with a temporary crown?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi. Can I purchase a temporary cover for my gold crown. I would like to cover it when I go on interviews. I got it 16 years ago and it was recommended by my dentist. Now I am a bit concerned about it because of all of the hype associated with having a gold. Of course I am not a kid, but when I go on job interviews i am not sure if it affects how the employer sees me even though I am dressed very nice. Thank You.

Do crowns wear on the inside over time?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
I have 4 crowns in the front (top) I just noticed as I was flossing today the area I thought had food seems to be more like a wearing of the side of the crowns (2). Does this happen and what do you do about it besides new crowns. I know–go to the dentist. I have had them approximately 17-20 years. Thank you
