Tooth Sensitivity for over 5 Months on New Crown

Crown sensitivity
Apr 10, 2019

I know that a sensitive tooth can be a real pain to deal with, no pun intended. Getting a crown placed requires a lot of steps that can irritate the tooth…water spray, air spray, sculpting down the tooth….all for a good reason, which is to protect and restore your tooth. These things can irritate the nerve of the tooth and it can take time for sensitivity to subside.
A dentist can check all of the directions your teeth can slide and hit together. One tiny interference from a…

My crown doesn’t look too bad, but it looks off. What should I do?

Crown On Front Tooth
Apr 3, 2019

A single crown on a front tooth can be one of the most difficult things to match in dentistry. Adding to the difficulty is your teeth are not all one color and not all perfectly straight, like you mentioned. The crown has to be a certain thickness, which may be the reason it protrudes further out than your other front tooth. The dentist that did this crown would know if it is possible to “thin it out” a little bit.
One thing that it sounds like you are noticing is that it does not…

Is sucking your teeth after emax crowns harmful?

Suction Movement On Crowns
Apr 3, 2019

Creating a suction movement with your tongue is not likely to harm the crowns in any way. When the crowns were placed, they were permanently bonded with cement.
I am glad you like the fit of your new crowns! That is great. It sounds like you are getting adjusted to having these crowns in your mouth, which can take some time because the texture and shape are different than what was in your mouth before. Within a week or two, you should be used to them.

Should I allow them to grind down my good teeth when making adjustments to my permanent crown?

Adjusting teeth opposing a crown
Apr 3, 2019

It is not unusual to have to adjust teeth that are biting onto a crown to make sure you are biting in the best way possible. A broken tooth that needs a crown may have broken because the teeth hitting it were causing trauma to that tooth. If you don’t adjust the opposing tooth causing the trauma, it will wear down the crown faster than necessary.
I know you don’t want a dentist to adjust a tooth that seems perfectly good to you, but the adjustment is usually a tenth of a…

I was rinsing tonight I had a whole bunch of grains Fallout should I be worried?

Bone Graft
Apr 3, 2019

When you get bone grafting, it is normal for the dentist placing the bone graft to overfill the site with the granules with the expectation that some will come out. I usually tell my patients not to worry if they feel some of the grains come out because I overstuff it to make sure that it takes. I would not worry. Best of luck!

Lump on gum under the tooth. I have a crown on – why is it there? Just noticed just that tooth alway

Lump on gums below crown
Mar 19, 2019

I am sorry to hear that you have a sensitive tooth. in my experience, there are several possible reasons for the painless lump on your gums. I think it would be a good idea to call your regular dentist and ask to be seen. I would let the dentist know that it is a painless bump and you don’t know how long it has been there. The dentist will probably want to get one or two X-rays to see what is happening in that area. Taking a X-ray will show if the tooth with the crown has an infection…

My first Invisalign tray feels very loose but my second tray is not even close to fitting, yet it ha

Fit of Invisalign Trays
Mar 19, 2019

Congratulations on starting your Invisalign journey! It is normal when starting a new tray for it not to fit perfectly down onto your teeth all of the way and have some space showing. This is the space your teeth will move into! However, if you feel that there is too much space, it is a good idea to get the dentist that prescribed your Invisalign to check and make sure the trays are fitting properly. I am sure that your change in speech is more noticeable to you than to anyone else…
