Pain with new crowns
Hello! I had dental crowns placed five days ago, and I feel pain in 2 teeth when exposed to cold. The pain goes away immediately. I should note that I had a similar sensation when wearing temporary crowns about ten days before this. I’m afraid of a major procedure. Is this fear justified? Thank you for your response.
In some cases, teeth can be sensitive for some time after new crowns are placed. If you feel that the pain gradually decreases day by day, it’s a good sign that your teeth are adjusting and the pain will stop. If the pain remains consistently intense, it’s necessary to visit your dentist for a check-up to ensure that the crowns completely cover all teeth.
Tooth extraction
Hello respected, I have a question. About a year and a half ago, I had treatment on my upper premolar. The nerve was removed, but since the crown has mostly deteriorated, my dentist recommended that I have the tooth extracted. Due to work and other commitments, I still haven’t had the tooth removed, and the dentist filled it with something similar to a filling. I wanted to ask if this could cause any problems, as I plan to have the tooth extracted soon anyway?
Such a tooth can become a source of infection that may spread to the surrounding jawbone. It’s necessary to have the tooth extracted to prevent this from happening.
Crowns over 15 years old
I have two fused crowns, 4 and 5 on the upper left jaw, older than 15 years. In the past month, they occasionally do not always react to heat; the pain is very brief and instantly disappears. What do you suggest? Thank you.
Pain after cementing crowns
I had zirconium crowns done 12 days ago. I had no pain for the first week, but then I started to feel some slight pain in the lower jaw. I feel some pain when exposed to cold, and I also have a similar sensation in the palate. The pain isn’t constant; it comes and goes throughout the day, but it’s still uncomfortable. Thank you.
After cementing new crowns, it takes some time (sometimes a few weeks) for the teeth to adjust and adapt. It’s important that over time you feel the pain gradually decreasing.
Gaps between teeth – braces
I have a question regarding fixed braces. It’s been 6 months since I’ve been wearing the upper ones, and a month ago the lower ones were also placed. On the same day, I noticed spacing between my upper incisors that I’ve never had before. Is this a normal occurrence? Thank you in advance for your response.
Dear, that is a normal occurrence and will continue to happen until you complete the entire treatment
Chipping of the ceramic bridge
Hello, I have a metal-ceramic bridge in the upper jaw, and the ceramic has fallen on the two and three, but the bridge has not cracked, is it possible to repair it?
It is possible to repair the bridge with the material used for fillings. This is not a long-term solution, but it can serve you until it is time to change the brdige.
Pain after anesthesia
Hi, two days ago I received mandibular anesthesia, a filling was performed and medicine was placed on the 7 on the left side, today, two days after the procedure, when I speak, I feel tingling on the edge of my tongue on the left side, while when I squeeze my jaw against my jaw, I feel the most tingling on the tip of the tongue. Is it something temporary or is it necessary to visit the dentist again? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Sometimes such sensations occur after mandibular anesthesia, but it is nothing to worry you about. The discomfort should pass by itself.
Swelling after tooth extraction
I extracted the tooth on Thursday (the lower tooth is in question). During the extraction, things got complicated, so it had to be, as the dentist says, “surgically extracted”. There was no swelling on the first day, while there was pain after the duration of the anesthesia. Now it’s been 2 days since I have swelling, how can I reduce it as soon as possible? (it is very important to me that the swelling goes away quickly, because of several things) I don’t have frequent pains, when I have them I drink caffeine and they go away, the only problem is the swelling. Thanks in advance for your reply!
Tooth replacement after extraction
I broke the top five while eating. The 3D scan showed that the root was also completely broken. The doctor recommended me to install an implant or a dental bridge.
I would like to know how long it takes from tooth extraction to dental bridge. As well as whether the other teeth in the jaw can be crooked/displaced during that period. Thank you
It takes 6 weeks to make a bridge and during that time the other teeth will not move.
Pain after tooth extraction
On Thursday, I had my upper sixth tooth extracted due to complications related to a granuloma and attempts to save the tooth (severe pain, fever, antibiotics). The wound was stitched. Since Saturday, I have experienced some pain, and it feels like the fifth and fourth teeth are bothering me. Is it possible that the granuloma has spread to these teeth, or is this pain simply normal until the wound heals? I am scheduled to have the stitches removed in 5 days. However, being far from a dentist, I am concerned that something might get complicated. I am still taking antibiotics.
It is possible that your adjacent teeth are experiencing discomfort due to the pressure transferred to them during the extraction. This sensation should gradually diminish each day.
A radiograph can be taken to check if the granuloma has spread in their direction.
