Q.
I am having 4 old crowns replaced at the front ,the 4 upper incisors either side of two front teeth, (they where 23years old) .For the first time I was having pain in my lower and upper jaw . I believed it was because the temporaries where too tight ,so returned to dentist yesterday and he removed them and replaced with individual temporaries. At 4 o`oclock this morning I awoke with this throbbing pain returning to my lower jaw . I`m losing confidence in my dentist. To put on the new temporaries he took 1.5 hours. By which time the novocaine was wearing of and I was v.sensitive to the placing and removal of the crowns . He seemed to fit each one around 4 times ,off and on. This is not normal as I have had crowns fitted for the last 34 years,I have never suffered with temporaries before. What is going on?
