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

Monday, March 30th, 2009
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.

I have had 14 veneers fitted and need another 5 doing in lots of pain

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
I have had 14 veneers fitted and need another 5 doing. I had them fitted 7 months ago, and have only had 1 week without pain during this time. My dentist didn’t provide me with temporary teeth during the preps, and snapped the front tooth when he removed the enamel, resulting in weeks of antibiotics and pain killers, and eventual root canal on a previously healthy tooth. I am still on the maximum dose of didrofenic and paracetemol extra, and my gums are starting to swell and ulcerate. He wants to see me every week to inject antibacterial treatment every week at a cost of £128.00, until they settle down. What shall I do? Help me please.

Tooth still aches after being treated and crowned again

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
I recently went to the dentist with toothache on both sides of my mouth. I was informed on either side I have decay below fillings. My dentist removed one filling on either upper side of my mouth, put some “medicine” in and temporarily filled them. I now have a crown on the left side with the right side due to be fitted in march. The crown was only fitted last week and already I have the same pain as before. Whilst the temporary filling was in I had no pain whatsoever. is this just wilst the tooth settles or is the crown sitting wrong? I am in agony and dentist away until monday? Help?
