Jaw pain after root canal crown
Common Questions and Answers about Jaw pain after root canal crown

I recently had a crown put on one of my lower teeth. Not the very back one but the next one forward. There was a cavity that the dentist was going to try to just fill but he said it would be better to go with a crown because I would probably need one in a couple of years anyway. The temporary crown was perfect. No pain whatsoever. The perm. crown was ok for about a week. Then it started to hurt when I would chew on that side. There was pain in the tooth and in the jaw area.
I failed to mention that when I touch the tooth accidently with my fork or spoon.. it feels like im chewing on tinfoil.. like that sharp pain on your fillings.
As for the pain: it always hurts.. its a throbbing pain.
Sometimes it requires a few weeks for the area to completely heal after a root canal. I would recommend continuing with the pain medication and antibiotics and keep an eye on your pain. If it gradually improves over time, I would wait until the area is completely healed before beginning the crown. If it doesn't get any better, I would go back to your dentist to get the temporary crown adjusted.
I am still having unbearable tooth pain exactly like before the root canal. Will this pain go away or will it be there until the crown is on there and the other 2 are filled? When will this pain go away? I have read that if you have pain before you will have pain after but this is cripiling pain I am in...it's all the way into my jaw by my ear and down under my jaw bone by my throat. I had the root canal to get rid of of this pain but it's exactly like it was before.
In December of 2009, I went for a cleaning and the dentist suggested getting a crown on a tooth with a large filling. He stated that there was no need for a Root Canal. After the procedure, I continued having pain and ended up having to have a root canal. One month later, I was back in the office with severe pain. After many visits with no resolution. My jaw swelled up and I had to have the tooth removed. This required me to get a bridge.
My Dentist has spent quite some time ensuring that the crown covering the tooth with the root canal (#14) was the proper height. The final crown was put on months after the initial infection was cleared up by "Z-pak" (sp?). I even saw the x-ray he took after the root canal was complete showing the 2 root structures replaced by something bright white in the X-ray. What does sensitivity to pressure, and primarily hot temperatures mean?
I had a temporary crown placed after my first root canal. I was under full sedation. My jaw/gum soreness is gone but I cannot apply even a tiny but of pressure on the temp without a severe, shooting pain. It's been 10 days since the procedure. Isn't the root dead? It seems to be most sensitive between the temporary crown and the tooth just behind it. Is it possible the root to the tooth behind the root canal is damaged?
I had the specific root canal mentioned through an endodontist, and it was two or three weeks before my dental appointment to fill and crown it (well, re-crown it, the root canal was through a crown.
I have just had a root canal on right upper molar tooth. I had a crown, so the root canal was done through the crown. I had it done 2 weeks ago. I was still having pain, and when I went back for the hole to be filled, the dentist decided to remove more of the nerve. I am still in terrible pain. When I eat hot or cold foods or drink hot or cold liquids I am in agony on the whole right side of my face. The whole side of my mouth lower and upper teeth are throbing.
Perhaps your dentist meant bonding on another tooth. It may be related to the pain/pressure but I would imagine its more due to the crown being a little too high/big for your bite and it may be disturbing your natural bite. I would guess that an adjustment on the bite would be the first step to see how things go.
I told the dentist about my pain and he said I might need a root canal so he prescribed me some pain meds and antibiotics if the pain continues. After my crown replacement appointment I was very numb and hours later once it wore off I was again in serious achy pains so I took the medications. It has now been almost a week and I have been in this same pain every day (constantly on the medicines).
This may or may not be related but I was given a different type of shot than I am used to.
I went in this week to get the permanent crown put on my root canal tooth, and now I have been in pain ever since. The dentist flossed around the crown and between the tooth with the new filling and I instantly felt pain. The pain goes all the way down to the jaw. I told the dentist and he said it should go away in a few days. I do not understand how it felt fine before, and now it is in pain. I would appreciate any help because now I am fearful of going back.
I just left the dentist I was seen for crown fitting, I was there for about 2 hours. Before this appt I have had a crown lenghthening about a week ago and a root canal about 2 weeks ago. Now today they fitted me they put a post and did the fitting it was painful. The dentis had to numb me several times. After the procedure I went to the restroom and I noticed a bump on the bottom right side of my cheek by my jaw its somewhat swollen.
One of these two teeth had a root canal this fall and had 4 roots. I have had such severe throbbing pain in my upper jaw it is unbearable. The pain feels like it's between the teeth, but shoots to my temple, around my eye, and below my ear. I went back to my dentist this past week, and he removed one of the temporary crowns (the one that had the root canal), cleaned/dug around it, and replaced the temporary crown. He took an x-ray and said things looked ok.
My top back molar broke. My dentist drilled it for a crown and put a temporary crown on it. About two days later I developed a pain in both my upper and lower jaws..mind you..this tooth does not hurt it just hurts all around it. Alleve takes the pain away. Went back two weeks later to get the permanent put on and now he won't put it on until I see an endodontist to make sure I don't need a root canal. Really..
A dull patch? I'm not familiar with that term so I'm not sure what she is saying.
If a root canal is performed, it depends on whats going on underneath. In this case, since the crown was done recently, I'd feel it would be fine to leave the crown and do a root canal through it instead of replacing the crown. It should be structurally fine after a root canal as they'll do a filling to replace the missing tooth and crown structure.
As for your cracked tooth, its possible the crack is quite deep and extensive and cause some damage to the pulp of the tooth, resulting in pain. A root canal would most likely fix the pain but you are still at risk for an infection later on, depending on the extent of the crack. If the crack is below gums and into the jawbone, the tooth is subject to infection and can cause loss of bone around that crack.
I was not having any trouble with my tooth but the new dentist that I went to said that my amalgam filling had leaking margins and decay under the filling so we needed to do an onlay to prevent a root canal and crown later. She did the onlay and since that time I have had toothaches (throbbing) unless I take Ibuprofin 800mg every 6-8 hours. I have avoided eating on that side of my mouth. I do have an exposed root at the gumline on that tooth and have very sensitive teeth to begin with.
weeks after the root canal i still experienced pain in the jaw line around the tooth. went back for a second root canal. weeks later still pain. they though it might possible be a crack in the root. so I had the tooth extracted. week later, STILL pain in the jaw line around the extracted tooth and now in my jaw joint. I now think it must be an infection in my jaw bone from the original root canal.
