Q. Is it possible to have pain in the tooth due to a faulty crown?
Hello doctor,
I got a crown done for my tooth six months ago but it is still giving me trouble. I consulted a different dentist a few days ago and got my teeth cleaning procedure done. They examined the crown and took an X-ray. They found an open margin on one side of the crown. They also wrote a referral to the dentist who placed my crown stating, that the crown was faulty and I would need a new one. But the dentist who placed the crown in the first place is denying of any such problem with the crown but he has agreed to replace it. I have not attached the picture of the X-ray in this message. Can I mail it to you? I need a third opinion regarding my problem.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The pain is not caused by the crown in your case, the crown is fine and it does not need any replacement. The tooth on which the crown is placed requires endodontic treatment i.e. root canal treatment.
In some cases, when the crown is done without endodontic treatment, some pain persists as the nerves are inflamed when the tooth is trimmed down for placement of the crown. Just get your root canal treatment done by your dentist and everything will be fine.
Hope this helps.
