How Long Does Dental Crown Pain Last?

Your Mouth Will Adjust To The Feel Of The Crown

Before the crown was placed you knew how that tooth felt. Now there is a material taking the place of where a natural tooth used to be. So even a well-fit crown can feel different for a period of time.

A Different Shape Feels Bigger

Sometimes the crown is a shape from your old tooth. That is normal to get used to at first. A crown is meant to restore the tooth. It does not always feel right like the original tooth did.

When The Crown Feels Different With Your Bite

A crown that feels slightly unusual is one thing. A crown that feels like it hits first when you close your mouth is a different story.

When A Different Feeling Needs A Look

• Pain in the tooth when you bite especially if it feels sharp of just a little sensitive needs a dental visit.

• A crown that feels loose is something to take seriously. It needs to be looked at before it moves more.

• Sensitivity to hot or cold that keeps coming can mean there is a problem under the crown so mention it.

• Your bite feels uneven. You keep biting on the crowned tooth first. That is a reason to call the dentist instead of waiting.
