Tooth crown nerve damage

Common Questions and Answers about Tooth crown nerve damage

teeth

I am wondering if there isn't a good seal around the tooth can it allow for bacteria to enter and cause more damage? And can the nerve be damaged from the constant hitting of it when it was so high? I am frustrated because this all adds up to alot of misery and money. Please let me know your thoughts.

I have to admit that I am very anxious about having this tooth extracted for fear of damage to the lingual nerve that I was told by my dentist is somewhere near this tooth. (The thought of permanent nerve damage scares me.) My questions today are: Where is this nerve in relation to the tooth, how risky is removing this tooth, and how will my oral surgeon remove this tooth if there is no tooth structure above the gum line? Thank you very much for your insight!

Finally, the dentist took an xray and said the root of the root canaled tooth is infected and he will perform an apicoectomies to remove the infection.Am I suffering from Nerve damage? The dentist hasn't mentioned nerve damage at all. Has anyone else had this and can help me . I am so gutted that i now may lose anther tooth. Please please can someone help. I am so distressed and can't think of anything else. Many thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas at all.

If more extensive, a veneer, inlay, or a crown might be needed, unless the crack goes below the gumline which might need a procedure called crown lengthening and if the cracks continue down too far to the bone, then the tooth may not even be savable and then a bridge, partial denture or implant might be needed. Also if the crack has gone to the nerve of the tooth and the nerve is exposed, then a root canal might be needed as well.

When giving what we call a mandibular block or inferior alveolar nerve block injection, we are aiming for a nerve on the inside of the cheek to completely numb the whole nerve. The nerve goes down along the inside of the cheek and goes into the jawbone and provides nerve sensation for the teeth and lip. It also splits up before that to numb the tongue.

Almost two years ago I slipped in my kitchen and broke several teeth, resulting in an implant, root canal and several crowns. Tooth number 14 was broken severely but suffered no nerve damage at the time of injury, thus only requiring a crown. I have had this crown for almost a year and a half with no problems. About 5 or 6 weeks ago this tooth started feeling odd-I cannot articulate it well, not pain, maybe slightly tingly, no hot/cold sensitivity, just something doesn’t feel normal.

Decay under crowns can be caused by not keeping the crown clean enough. The removal of the crown shouldn't damage the tooth. They should just be able to cut the crown off, remove the decay, and reprep for a new crown. Unless the decay is into the nerve, then you would need a root canal before getting a new crown.

If I press gently beside the nose I get a strange tingling sensation in the top lip. Is this nerve damage? Does it recover quickly or is this long term? Should I be using warm or cold compresses? I'm treating with Advil but its not reducing the swelling. I would be so grateful for any help, I'm so distressed by this. Thank you.

1) The bite is off and its causing constant trauma to the tooth, resulting in pain. The trauma could have damaged the nerve in the tooth, resulting in spontaneous pain. 2) The cavity that may have been there was deep and its infected the nerve (or the trauma from the drilling injured the nerve). It has gradually died and now its hurting. Your dentist will need to evaluate it and determine the proper course of treatment.

and put in a temporary crown. I am still experiencing pain from the tooth and it feels like nerve damage. Is there a chance it will stop or will I need a root canal?

Went to wisdom tooth dentist, he said I should not remove tooth b/c the nerve is too close and I could do damage. Of course if I'm in pain, then they will remove it. The restorative dentist then went ahead with the crown prep, but warned me several times that they wouldn't be able to take out the wisdom tooth. They did take a panoramic xray and I did see the nerve, extremely close to the wisdom tooth. It also appeared to be pushing the molar.

Doctor has prepared my tooth (molar, #30) for a crown, however while waiting for a crown for a about a week I've experienced pain in my down and even upper jaw from the right side. Took ibuprofen, so I could function during the day and sleep during night. No pain directly in the tooth, but dull pain around it in the jaw.

I ended up breaking off about 3/4 of my front tooth (#9) and severely damaging the one right next to it (#8). I got a temporary crown on #9 so it is hard for most people to know that it isn't a real tooth. However, after 2 root canals, #8 is so discolored, apparently due to the lack of nerves left in that tooth, that people often notice. My question is, how can I get my teeth to be one uniform color? (preferably white :-)?

I had fractured tooth #14 and my dentist prepped my tooth for a crown. I had some pain while chewing with the temporary, but not with temperature. The dentist said that she didn't think that I needed a root canal. While she was away on vacation, my temporary tooth fell off while I was flossing, and I had to see another dentist in the practice. She fitted me with my permanent crown, despite telling her that my tooth hurt.

I am convinced it has something to do with the crown since it all started after that. I wonder if a nerve that runs from the tooth was damaged. Have you ever heard of this happening? Thanks so much for any comments that you might have for me.

I thing that, adjusting may help, but there is nerve damage also. When I roll my hips back and for to help relieve the pain, my back/hip area pops. If I do not pop it back then my left foot gets a bruise on it. When it pops back the bruise goes away. When my left foot is bruising I can barely walk. I feel pain down both legs and at night I feel like pins and needles are poking my feet and fingers. What could this be?

Sorry for the lengh, but my question is, could the needle have damaged the parotid gland or caused some sort of salivary gland nerve damage? Is it possible that the procedure just overstimulated the salivary glands? If so, will it eventually decrease? Since I had the increased saliva flow from the bridge, I had my dentist take it out on March 4, and I currently have temp caps in my mouth (one silver and one arcylic).

Many times it will harden behind the crown and then pulverize and you can taste it. Nerve damage from the implants should not give you the sensations you are having. Nerve damage would leave more a numbness or transient shock like pain, not a taste. Your Vick's vapour rub description sounds like the cement. Perhaps you could start there. GOOD LUCK on finding a solution.

sometimes a prep can damage the nerve on the tooth and you need to take it out...hence a root canal. im not sure why you wouldn't want this as it has a crown on it anyhow.

i had a crown put in on the right top back tooth almost 4 weeks ago and as soon as the numbness wore off i've had severe tooth pains. not just the tooth they worked on by all my teeth upper and lower rigth side. i really dont know what to do. i called the dentist back and they prescribbed me an antibiotic and pain meds and said after the antibiotic is gone if im still having pain then call back....but the pain is so bad i wake up in the middle of the night.

Hi all. I had a tooth prepared for a crown on Tues. March 7. After the carbocaine wore off, i decided to have lunch and when i bit down on that side, a SHOCK of pain went through my mough..like i "hit a nerve." I called the dentist and they said it was most likely cuz the truth had been traumatized. It's now Friday morning, Marc 10 and it STILL hurts to bite down if there is food there, not just the bite alone - only the added pressured of something between the teeth when biting down..

3 weeks ago, I went in for a regular cleaning and I was informed I had a fractured tooth and needed a crown. I agreed as I had a minor amount of pain with eating and they were afraid I would crack the tooth off and cause worse problems. I had the temporary put on and was forced to stay on regular, fairly high doses of ibuprofen. After they put the permanent on, which seems to have a great fit, I have dull, constant pain. Sometimes I can get away with 200 mg.

yea you cant bruise a tooth.... sounds like when u bit into candy you damaged the nerve and now its dying....that would cause pain and a greyish look to the tooth.... you probably need a root canal and a crown....

Do you think that the nerve is damaged and I will need a rooth canal? How is this done when the crown is already placed?

He also says I should get a crown on the tooth in the near future. If I get a crown, is it necessary to replace the old filling at all? I thought the crown would do the job of a filling too. I asked him and he said that yes, he had to replace the filling prior to the crown. I've had 2 crowns done before and they've grinded the tooth down to very little and it seems like a filling would just disappear at that point.

Sometimes with trauma, even previous trauma, the nerve can be damaged and it can begin to get infected due to the dead tissue in the tooth. This requires a root canal to prevent the infection from spreading or even destroying the tooth inside. After a root canal, if there is insufficient tooth structure left, a crown is recommended. Sometimes a post is needed as well. The permanent crown should look much improved over a temporary crown.

it was an accident and i'm sure it trapped a nerve.... My ear also wont unblock on the left which is connected to the tooth problem, something twists and squeaks in the facial area when i move jaw to the left, i am positive it is a trapped ear nerve......my ll4 is supersentive to heat and is really nervy, surely root canal will take of the nervy feeling on the tooth........... Due to have an mri saturday which i hope will reveal something but not sure it will..........

the tooth is already damaged and will only get worse without some kind of action. the tooth should have a crown (gold is strongest) and be checked to see if a root canal is indicated. even if a root canal is not needed now you may need one in the future and if they do drill thru the crown it will not destroy it like the dr nassery claims. if you want to do the best for your teeth cleaning and exams are important.

I had a crown put on a broken tooth 10 days ago. I still have an ulcer and quite a bit of pain on the gum under the crown. The novacaine injection hurt terribly, like never before. Could there have been some damage that I still have pain. The office told me to keep gargling with salt water. But after 10 days, the ulcer from what I think was trauma from the instruments is still here. Can this trauma cause an abscess?
